Yes, Steven, finally more are awakening from this particular Nightmare of History, and saying No to their Criminal Government...however, recall TRUMP was the one who pushed the needle into the arms of the Americans and is still proud of doing so, yet good persons like you and Emmanuel here in NZ and the Breggins in the U.S. still back him as a Savior.

Time to trump Trump with "all governments are unnecessary evils".

Get free, stay free.

Thank you for the comment. We've discussed this at length, of course, and you know my response: Trump? Or someone magnitudes worse? No Saviors except Christ. We political pragmatists are in a position similar to the Stoic philosopher Seneca who tried to counsel the psychopathic Nero and did the best he could because he realized that if not him, then someone worse would be doing it - and his writings reveal plenty of indications of dissatisfaction, how his life failed to live up to his ideals. But as Marcus Aurelius would note a couple generations after Seneca, we do not live in Plato's Republic. Watch your email. Two items coming (not sure what time).

I sent NWV's editors the photo; I don't know why they didn't use it. Fortunately, on this pub, *I'm* the one in charge, lol.
