Thank you Karen for your commentary and Churchill's inspiring quotations. I agree with your message but would prefer to add Langston Hughes's poem on America which glorifies the Founding Fathers' enlightened goals but throws in the wish it would have the energy to deal with the liberty of groups beyond the white male ruling class. The contribution of America is to recognize it must build on these fundamental freedoms. Hughes combines the ideal with the challenges it presents to America;" history. This sense of commitment is not included in the identity of other nations.

Thank you, Karen, for your commentary on the election and the dangers we face and hopefully can overcome. Praying for Kamala’s victory, and wishing I knew how to explain how this country has failed so terribly in living up to its ideals.

May we learn from this horrific turn of events so as to prevent another Hitlerian figure from rising to such heights.
