Donald John Trump – the man with no core.

Politeness so oft superficializes us to each other.

Moses is believed to have brought forth the word of God; Jefferson, in his Declaration of Independence, as he himself claimed, to bave expressed the “American mind” of the time.

Human nature seems to be such as to overestimate itself.

Watching Ken Burns Civil War. Again now after 30 years. A quote that just was read:

“As a nation, we began by declaring that all men are created equal; we now practically declare it all men treated equal, except Neurose. Soon it will read all men are created equal, except negroes and foreigners and Catholics. When it comes to this, I should prefer immigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty; to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without base alloy of hypocrisy.” – Abraham Lincoln, in a private letter to his friend Joshua F Speed, August 24, 1855.
