asking is for the cards to be put on the table. We've made it clear -- anyone who participated in the sex crimes be identified, no matter if they are a Democrat, republican, third party, dead or alive. This goes way beyond "politics" ......it is a matter of justice and the rule of law. If there is someone in your community who sexually abuses underage teens or children, arrest them. It doesn't matter what church they go to, their economic status, their ethnic background. No! A healthy community wants offenders to be incarcerated.

Now that I've said that, I must add that I am delighted, as a Democrat, at the hand we were dealt. So the above paragraph is what I think. It's what I say to old friends who voted for him, but are recognizing the felon is not who they thought he was. But how I am feeling is sometimes different than what I think. For example, when I was saying the above paragraph to an old friend in the grocery store, I felt like saying, "I warned you that he was a sociopath." But I don't need to, because in the fog of their dim awareness, they are starting to see it coming into focus.

If it was up to me, the inhabitants of the DU community and others would take the time to see the new, expanded version of the 1995 documentary season of the Beatles Anthology while relaxing, maybe having a drink or a hit off a pipe. Laugh. Dance to the music. Sing along with the greatest group of musicians in recorded history. And when people get to the part where Nixon is trying to kick John Lennon out of the country, come back and again read the OP.
