  1. One of the many S&G songs I was able and willing to sing to my little children as I put them to bed. Lying down with them.
    Now I sometimes sing it to my grandkids, but only a few times this year.
    Ages: 4,4,2,0.3 years (4 months for little Teo).

    Tho it fits the rhyme, I was often bothered by the Autumn wind in August, especially listening to it in LA.


    Trump’s style is more like Fred Flinstone/ Ralph Kramden, boring, bragging, low class, get-rich-quick. If successful, very much the kind of classless rich guy the over-educated (thus over entitled) elite & elite wannabe folk claim to be intellectually AND morally superior to. So Trump’s an easy target to hate.

    There’s been a recent chimp war where a big group split into two, with the smaller group ambushing & killing adult males of the larger group, and more recently also killing younger males. Why? Not religion, nor voting politics, nor ethnic differences. (Don’t know why) Do the killing chimps hate? I think so.

    Hating is fun, and bonding with 3rd level friendship—my enemy’s enemy. Most protests always focus more on the bad reality that all protesters are against.

    How to improve the USA:
    1) Talk about how the Dem Demonization is a key root cause of creating political violence, thru making some Dems so full of hate they become deranged. This Dem Derangement Syndrome too often becomes strong enough in some folks that they try to use violence.

    2) All elite colleges lie about being non-partisan, so as to qualify for tax exemptions. They are partisan & should be paying their fair share. Only those with 30% Reps & 30% Dems should qualify as non-partisan.

    3) Term limits, like 8 years, for govt employees. Far more folk should spend time as Fed employees, and especially become tax paying workers after spending a few years. Most govt jobs don’t even have a metric for showing one is doing a good job, new folk are more likely to be good than job-for-life entrenched bureaucrats.
