Sometimes a Great Notion

Donald Trump says he wants America to be great again,
but what he calls for is an America that used to be:
coal mining, rust-belt America insulated from the world
by two very old oceans and a brand new wall 
down the middle of the Rio Grande.  Or maybe,
since Mexico is going to pay for it, on their side of the river.

Oh, what nonsense!

"It's going to be great!"
"It's going to be fantastic!"
"It's going to be incredible!"

What exactly are you going to do, Mr. Trump?

"Never mind!  Trust me!  It's going to be great!
I will hire great people, and it will be great!"

We are going to be arrogant bast. . . . great,
and people will respect us, and it will be great!
Great!  Trust me!  I know how to do it!"

A big wall:  Mexico will pay for it and turn the moon into green cheese, too.
No more trade agreements that are of any benefit to anyone else.
A really big military:  the one we have is only bigger than the next eight biggest nations in the world, combined.  Bigger!  But we aren't going to use it unless someone looks at us sidewise, or says they do not want to pay for a wall.

Hispanics will love Mr. Trump!
Women will love Mr. Trump!
Minimum wage employees will love Mr. Trump!
Muslims will love Mr. Trump:  they will read Number Two Corinthians together.  (Or was that Second Moses?)

We need a hero to make us great again.
Mr. Trump is exactly what we need:  a strong man!  Someone who can make the trains run on time.  A charming man with a will of steel, and a wall, whom women will love; especially that.  It will be incredible!  Want to come along?




[You will have to excuse me.
It is early, and I could not sleep.
I am going back to bed:
maybe that will calm the urge
to upchuck, which would be great, too.]

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them. ...

That's all we want: fairness! Not more guns and more war! Fairness!

The five police officers who were killed in Dallas are certainly not the officers who killed innocent citizens. There is more than enough tragedy to go around. "What is happening to our country?", Mari asked this morning. I had no answer.  We do have an answer.  We do not want to say it. There are lots of answers, all of them pertinent. We are a racist society, like most human societies. We are a society in the midst of enormous changes-- social, political, economic--and we do not know what to do about it. We are divided unsustainably into absurdly rich, and an enormous number of crumbling middle class families, and poor. We have guns everywhere; military guns, guns just for killing people, cheap guns, heroes carrying guns into churches and supermarkets, idiots who think guns ought to be allowed in bars and schools and ball games and beauty parlors and political rallies. Our political process is almost useless. There are good people in Congress, but there...
