The last things in the world that I want to fight about are religion and politics. Really, I would rather not fight at all, with anyone, about anything. I'm probably a little better at avoiding conflict than I was as a young man. Not much.
There are patterns that became obvious to me that endure as I watch the world spin. First and foremost, there are good guys and bad guys.
Don't tell me if your candidate is a Republican or a Democrat; is he a good guy or a bad guy?
I'm less interested in the color of your immigrant than I am in his plans for the future. I'm not that interested in the deity that he prays to unless he is looking to blow up some of the others because of a message from that god.
Yep, good guys and bad guys. Wrestlers, cowboys, politicians, bankers, soldiers, preachers and whatever else you've got.
History is written by the victors. This new batch, if there are books in our future, should be fascinating. If I'm around, I'll rush to look up slavery, fascism, living wage, climate change...
Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.
