2020: STILL Fighting on the front line – Doctors, nurses, EMTs, transport workers, grocery clerks, sanitation workers, communications systems techs, laboratory researchers, on-site news reporters, etc. The ones SAVING those sheltering at home. You don’t need to carry a rifle to be a hero!
A ever-dwindling number of those who fought in the 1940s are still alive, and possibly in nursing homes or assisted living. Some of those places are foci of the virus. If they are brought down at last in that way, partly due to an incompetent “commander-in-chief,” what a poor repayment for their service.
That this is not a time of collaboration to find ways to deal with the next — perhaps more lethal/uncurable — pandemic rather than pretending that this is the last time this will ever happen, is discouraging. If only we had an inspirational, unifying leaders.
Eldridge Cleaver said: “There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you’re going to be part of the problem .”
So either you vote or you don’t vote. Don’t kid yourself. By not voting at all, by abdicating on your rights, by expecting everyone else to do your duty for you, then you are responsible for whatever.the outcome is the result of an election. If you don’t vote that is another nail in coffin of our democratic republic. It’s only by voting that we can make a difference. It so only by voting that we can survive. If you don’t vote you have no right to complain about the results of an election.
If you have to cast a vote for the lesser of two evils, sobeit. Just vote. You can be the solution or you can be the problem.

We must have someplace, but none have surfaced yet.

So Trump was about fifty years ahead of the times when he stayed home instead of going to Vietnam?

Yeah, I drove an armchair for my country in 2020. If you think that’s easy, you haven’t tried to handle an E-Z Boy in a four-day fugue.
