Thank you!

It looks like I have a minute before this evening's thunder storm begins. I appreciate your response! One of the things that I think as a grumpy old man is that hate, like alcohol addiction, lies to the person it seeks to ultimately destroy. Those like the felon and the maga cult have the illusion that they have accessed power. They have not -- just the opposite, a collective unconscious of millions of human machines has accessed them. They are destructive, of course, as hatred and violence can only be.

But they are unaware of, and at very least currently, unable to understand what actual power is. As my late friend Rubin noted in 1974, the word power comes from the Latin posse, and correctly means to grow and build a healthy society. They do not understand at all.
