I enjoyed your post. We have been watching your election with interest over here and there are certainly some scary aspects to Mr Trump. Hilary seemed to be the lesser of two pretty unsuitable candidates to many over here. I share your concerns about blinkered, intolerant, people too. But I can see how Trump might appeal to some - and that's a worry too. We need to deal with what we have, though. I would also say that it takes cataclysmic events to turn civilisation backwards. Walrus sounds like a good egg to me :-)Mike@Bit About Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741370413282813229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-53043398830594480392016-11-15T22:57:03.453-05:002016-11-15T22:57:03.453-05:00John, I wish we could move there.

It's sickening. I'm trying to get past it, let go, stay positive. But the hatred is just suffocating. <br /><br />I'm glad you were able to find comfort in the stories of Mr. Rogers and the old walrus. We all need a little sunshine right now.
