What you say is so true, and this is such a concise but accurate description of the dangers we face. Deaths by inches, indeed. I'm scared to death, but I'm trying to be open-minded about what's happening, to look beneath my fear and be open to the possibility that this might not be a disaster. I don't know what else to do, honestly.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-111610126577751642016-11-12T18:47:41.734-05:002016-11-12T18:47:41.734-05:00You are absolutely right that America's surviv...You are absolutely right that America's survival does nothing for those individuals who didn't survive. You've made many excellent points here and given me further food for thought. I'm so very sorry that you are hurting so much. Wishing I could help make it hurt less.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-48072115412630707682016-11-12T13:10:40.498-05:002016-11-12T13:10:40.498-05:00I keep thinking that I should be able to quote som...I keep thinking that I should be able to quote something wise about love in the face of hate but only a feeling comes up and not an actual quote... so I will share that I'm having feelings of love and hope and appreciation after reading your post and I'll call that good enough for now.

Now it has. <br /><br />My thoughts are turning to ensuring an easy way out for the three of us when the bombs start falling.

I don't take Xanax and boy, it's powerful. In my outrage yesterday I deleted family members from Facebook and avoided talking to anyone. I took off work yesterday to lick my wounds and worry. It's strange to be both angry and removed all at once. I too had visions of being carted away and the fight that would bring about.<br /><br />Tonight I spoke with my mother just to let her know I am okay because I've been avoiding her too. That says more than you might know as I am an unabashed mamma's boy. I'll have a deeper conversation when I won't lash out. When rational words can be formed. <br /><br />But tonight I am regaining the ability to stare this down. We will stand up against the hate. We will.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-74848348440167960292016-11-11T19:07:17.015-05:002016-11-11T19:07:17.015-05:00That last paragraph is especially powerful.
