On The Brink

As I watch the Republican debates, I realize that we are on the brink of a crazy person running our nation.  I sit in front of the television and shudder at the thought of one of these creationism-loving, global-warming-denying, immigration-bashing, Social-Security-cutting, clean-air-hating, mortality-fascinated, Wall-Street-protecting Republicans running my country.

Large Families

My longer-range schemes have to do with providing all Americans with artificial extended families of a thousand members or more.  Only when we have overcome loneliness can we begin to share wealth and work more fairly.  I honestly believe that we will have those families by-and-by, and I hope they will become international.
