   The DA did not declare Trump guilty. The judge did not declare Trump guilty. The prosecutor did not declare Trump guilty. The witnesses did not declare Trump guilty. It was the JURY that declared Trump guilty. So when the GOP cries foul, they are blaming the citizens. Republicans are saying that they do not have faith in Americans.

   All of us have the capability to choose the emotion we have.

   The weather can be rainy and cold. You can choose to feel depressed about it or you can choose to ignore it. Whatever choice you make, the weather will still be rainy and cold. The only difference is you.

   It is difficult, but do not allow other people or events choose your emotions for you. If you are not master of yourself, someone or something else will be.

   I do not have to rule the world; I just have to keep the world from ruling me.

   Having said all that. Events and people do affect me. I can take whatever emotion they invoke and channel it into anger. I know how to manage anger. Mostly, I use it as a motivation to take action.

   Sometimes that action is to sit back and watch events unfold without me. That’s a fancy way of saying. “Not every battle is worth fighting. Pick your fights.”

   I use my TV strictly for entertainment (I watch maybe as much as an hour a day – more during college football season). I will watch the news, but I don’t pay a lot of attention to it. It alerts me to items I might want to read more about.

   It is interesting that the word, “queer” has “come out of the closet” and become a more or less neutral word. Many words that used to be in common use have gone in the other direction.

   I think that’s what happens when people stand up and own something. It defuses the negative connotation.

   I have an issue with those who are “Always a critic and never a doer..”

   “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt.

    It is your right to do so. Keep it peaceful.
