Thought for today: Inside the hall The men gathered to sign a document declaring independence From a monarchy with an oppressive king 250 years later, are we progressing with the concept of a more perfect union? Or in the past 18 months have we backslid back to an autocracy with a corrupt king?

email.mg-d0.substack.com/c/eJxkksuuoz... My latest Substack essay. Feedback welcome. How did the invention of the airplane in 1903, evolve into such a lethal military weapon of war? Why are we spending so much of our federal budget to kill people & destroy the earth’s landscape?
share.google/KWkwyvZJ93aL... Here is my latest essay on Substack. Subscription is free. Bigotry, hate & racism are behaviors that run counter to the idea of “liberty and justice for all”, yet has been allowed to go unchecked during the 1st & 2nd Trump presidencies. My essay explains why.
