to the least of your brothers, that you do unto me. That moved me, singing to the music of the guitar at Mass sung by college students. I was eight years old and a newcomer to the “cool” college Mass, vastly different than old St. Joe’s.
It is an easily understandable and inviolable code that I learned as a kid, and not only from regular church-going. I just don’t get why those who seek our votes seem to have missed this universal concept.
We care about Ukraine because Putin is a tyrant who only cares for himself and his precious legacy that will reunite the USSR as if he were Lenin himself. I know it. Poland knows it. So does NATO. Donald Trump would run over his grandmother to make a quick buck and to keep himself out of jail.
And women over fifty, like me, do care a great deal about reproductive rights, not because I can no longer bear children but because I care deeply about the rights of those who can and do. And yes, I’ve a big issue with SCOTUS taking away constitutional rights in general. And bestowing new ones like immunity on crooked politicians.
I don’t need a Donald Trump to “protect” me from decisions regarding my life and body. I don’t need him to protect me from society, the workplace, men in general (except him) or worrying my pretty little head about manly things like the right to vote for who represents me in our government.
The country needs to protect itself from Donald Trump and each and every one of his acolytes who will do anything to gain power and control, while trampling the rights of others, mainly women, immigrants, minorities and anyone who earns less than $1 million per year.
It should be simple. One of our presidential candidates cares about America, its Constitution and people. The other doesn’t. What the cost of living adjustment is to Social Security benefits will have to wait. It’s a binary choice. Please make the right one on November 5. Thanks for reading! Dee
