there were scuffles inside the event.. despite his lame attempt to pretend the violence he instigates is nothing to do with him it's clear that it is as the cnn quotes during the last event showed only too well.. this doesn't happen at anyone else's events - candidates have even given up the stage to protesters, not called for them to be beaten and punched.. trump is an ugly person and this is just a small taste of what a future under his rule would be like.. shame on the gop for not kicking his ass out.

Thanks, Si. I can't sleep, and gonna listen to that while I surf. It's quite incredible to me, that Trump's father was his landlord, huh? It's synchronicity. xx

Guys, do you remember the Hylander? (sp?)

He said "we are all gods"

Who can argue with that? ;)

My friend's satire of Woody Guthrie's song (a la John Prine):

This land is my land

It is not your land

So you better get off

Before I blow your head off

I got a shotgun

And you ain't got one

This land is private propertee!\

I've been researching family history, and racism is an issue for Trump. Any voter who wishes to be aware can do their own research.

Just google "woody guthrie and trump" and you will experience shock and awe. SMDH

Okay, I can't help myself. From the The Washington Post, read the article. Here's an excerpt.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/22/the-unbelievable-story-of-why-woody-guthrie-hated-donald-trumps-racist-dad/

There, in one of Guthrie’s notebooks — which contain pages upon pages of lyrics never set to music — he found these lines, written in the early 1950s:

I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
he stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his
Eighteen hundred family project

There was also this:

Beach Haven ain’t my home!
I just cain’t pay this rent!
My money’s down the drain!
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven looks like heaven
Where no black ones come to roam!
No, no, no! Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!

I look back on feeling ashamed.

If I may?

Don't feel shame. Feel sorry that you may have hurt someone, and realize that now you KNOW better, and now you DO better. Be proud that you overcame the programming. Shame is subjective. You were misled - the shame lies with those who steered you wrong. xx tal

I have to say, I don't like religion. *grins*

.

BUT, a great story (I think) about my former landlord,,,,

He was Hindu, and a Swami (a spiritual leader). They had their temple service on Sundays, and after the service, always a pot luck. It's a very close community.

My landlord would drop by every Sunday, and bring me a plate of delish Indian food. He is well-known in my city for his kindness and wisdom, and being both an humanistic and spiritual leader.

He told me about the Hindu version of Hell. Everyone is seated at a banquet table. They cannot bend their arms or wrists. They are seated at a table with an huge feast. The only way to eat, is to feed each other. So they *must* help each other, or forever starve in their hatred of 'other'.

I thought that was an amazing religious interpretation. Cool, huh?
