I reject hate, racism, and all forms of despicable doctrine--

October 27th--first snow of the season.

I'm not at all surprised, but we are not expected to keep this light dusting (which is just fine with me). In fact, we are predicted to have 74 degrees on Halloween. Trick or treat, indeed. 

What's on my mind? I can't quite shake the feeling of dread that comes with the impending election. The American Fascist/ Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, intentionally recalling the Nazi rally in 1939, scares me. If you've seen the movie Fantastic Beasts, there's a depiction of the same thing, for the same reason: hunt "others" out of a sense of fanatical, "religious" duty. Except, any religion that insists on hate, racism, degradation of other people, and vengeance is no religion. It's genocide.

Are we, as a country, all that willing to embrace a cultural purging? Because one has been promised, and it's been promised to be a bloody one.

The foul-mouthed, racist rantings of a so-called "comedian"-- railing on in spectacularly disgusting ways about Latinos and Puerto Rico-- is enough to make your stomach clench. And this is what we are okay with? Have we become so degraded as Americans that this is excusable, let alone approved?

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here" (Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act I). 

Pray for us, and act.
