It has been a very unfortuante day on the political front in the United States. Donald Trump came out calling for a total ban on Muslim Immigration to the United States. It was welcome that Jeb Bush called it "unhinged" along with others--this is right after President Obama's call for Tolerance. The Speech last night was attacked by the Republicans--but Donald Trump went one step further. Although Ezra Klein called it grotesque on his Facebook Page, I prefer to call it simply inhumane. More than that, it is unconstitutional.
Throughout my visits on "The Grid", I was lamenting how we were lacking our Generation's Edward R. Murrow and Joseph Welch who both stood up to Joseph McCarthy--whose views Trump epitomizes today in many ways. It then occured to me--#Outsiders was launched to try to change th narrative and transform it. Yes there are those like Vox, BuzzFeed and others who are also workign through it--but there needs to be a different way. Whether the journey is successful is another question.
Our team has been "virtually pounding the pavement" will have some thoughts over the ensuing days. What I took comfort in what Scott Kelly sent out as he bid good night to those of us on this Earth which I took my queue as I "go dark" for the night which I released to my Personal Twitter Feed earlier:
