Thanks for the input. It is really great.

But you understand that our current folks who are strong believers of his are using the same tactics on a national and in some cases, international level. That is scary.

I have never said a bad word about the man, except his relationship with our administration has always concerned me. What is happening within the black/white in our country is what he would want LOCALLY as you said, but he wanted the hate, the strict black/white lines...he wanted confrontation in order to get what he wanted or the group wanted.

It is stunning to see someone dedicated to destruction and deconstruction so self-convinced that he is an agent of human necessity and development; "


I am making no claims about the breakdown in morality that is happening because that is not fair at all, but he would like all the unsettled situation and the riots, etc.
