Quote of the Week

 “I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter.”

-- Former President Barak Obama

Yesterday at a campaign stop for Kamala Harris....Obama uttered this quote.

I sat and pondered upon it. To be truthful....you could see the toxic nature of things developing in the 1990s to a small degree.  But as you got to the 2005 to 2015 era....between the print-media (NY Times, Newsweek, Nat'l Geographic, WaPo) and the TV news-media....things simply accelerated. Adding Facebook and Twitter to the mess....just made things worse.

The comical four years of Joe Biden?  Having a dementia-person as President makes things a joke.

As for people being 'bitter'?  I would make the observation that more than half-a-million people have reached a stage where they have no emotional control of themselves.
