We had a whole colony if about a hundred crows in a conservation area right behind us. They were constantly on the move. It was fascinating to watch and then along came the West Nile Virus about fifteen years ago and it wiped every last one of them out in a season, never to return.

After the election in America I asked the Grandmothers, “Now that it’s over, what can we learn?” “First,” they replied, “let us explain some things. You have elected, not a man, but a “moy” to lead you. He is a boy in an old man’s body. Moys are a combination of man and boy, but mostly boy. They are large and have loud voices so people mistake them for men, but they are not men. A man thinks of the common good while a moy has not learned to think of anyone but himself. He has not fully developed and is still a child.
“The time you are living in is called the age of destruction,” they said, “the Kali Yuga. It is the lowest point. At this time evil rises to the surface to be destroyed. This dark-age takes place just before the arrival of the in-coming Golden Age, so today you are watching out-of-balance Yang energy creating destruction all over your planet. This IS the Kali Yuga. You have heard and read about it and now it has come.
“Your country has just elected a moy to be its next president. Russia as well as Syria are already run by moys, while Africa is overrun by them, each moy creating havoc in his area of that continent. The Philippines is run by a moy and so are several other countries. Is it any wonder that the world is lurching from crisis to crisis?
“This is what is happening on earth now and because it is, you must learn to cope with this energy. You cannot reason with it because it is entirely destructive. Instead you must hold steady within yourself and observe its wild behavior from a position of power. If you do this, it will not be able to feed on you. Your steadiness will help contain its rapacious energy and it will not be able to do as much damage as it would otherwise.

THAT is some people's opinion - definitely not mine! Trump is the best thing that's come along in 100 years, more gumption and moxie than any of his predecessors IMHO. For Christ sakes let's give him a chance to clean things up.
If you want to see politics based on emotionalism over reason and a borderline-religious devotion to an iconic figure, forget the Trump Army; look instead to the Cult of Clinton.
Ever since Donald Trump won the presidential election, all eyes, and wringing hands, have been on the white blob who voted for him. These "loud, illiterate and credulous people," as a sap at Salon brands them, think on an "emotional level." Bill Moyers warned that ours is a "dark age of unreason," in which "low information" folks are lining up behind "The Trump Emotion Machine." Andrew Sullivan said Trump supporters relate to him as a "cult leader fused with the idea of the nation."
What's funny about this is not simply that it's the biggest chattering-class hissy fit of the 21st century so far — and chattering-class hissy fits are always funny. It's that whatever you think of Trump (I'm not a fan) or his supporters (I think they're mostly normal, good people), the fact is they've got nothing on the Clinton cult when it comes to creepy, pious worship of a politician.
By the Cult of Hillary Clinton, I don't mean the nearly 62 million Americans who voted for her. I have not one doubt that they are as mixed and normal a bag of people as the Trumpites are. No, I mean the Hillary machine—the celebs and activists and hacks who were so devoted to getting her elected and who have spent the past week sobbing and moaning over her loss. These people exhibit cult-like behavior far more than any Trump cheerer I've come across.
Trump supporters view their man as a leader "fused with the idea of the nation"? Perhaps some do, but at least they don't see him as "light itself." That's how Clinton was described in the subhead of a piece for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter. "Maybe [Clinton] is more than a president," gushed writer Virginia Heffernan. "Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself," Nothing this nutty has been said by any of Trump's media fanboys.

The whole predictably makes the presentation long in the toothy,it has no effect anymore,the presentation is silly and juvenile and some times it feels good just sAying it!Sometimes by tweaking a word or name a little you can get a little closer to the real meaning. It's not a new science!
Stupid mother ****ers

heh.
When Trump was down in the polls his claims of a rigged election were pooh-poohed away by the Democrats.
Now that Clinton has lost the election the Democrats are saying the election must have been rigged.
As soon as computers were used as voting tools the possibility of hacking became a reality. Look for more problems in the future as electronic voting increases.
Any use of a computer for any purpose invites the possibility of hacking.

There's no such thing as a secure website. All it takes is somebody determined to spend the time it takes to hack it. Anybody who puts confidential info on a computer is asking for trouble. I'm not good with computers myself but that's what all the programmers say.
Better mousetraps make smarter mice!
The issue is when one connects the computer to the internet. Standalone computers can only be hacked by acquiring physical access.
