  1.  @chunguschungus  "two candidates that are mostly the same. Things are not even particularly bad now, no worse than they've been before, all of this is just amplified because of the internet." Oh, you're right! I haven't seen what I've seen, or heard what I heard, or read what I read. How silly of me! These were NOT the droids I was looking for. I'll move along now....

  2. Few words for those with anxiety: We don't have to look for negative things. The horrible stuff is plain as day and everywhere, always boastful and in your face. But we do have to look for the positive things. Contrary to the bad stuff, positive people and ideas are not boastful, but humble. So they won't hunt you down, or scream in your face. You have to find them. You have to search deliberately and mindfully every single day, even every hour of the day, for something that will fill you with the energy to go on. For myself, I take joy from small things, like feeding the squirrels outside my apartment, near the woods. And I sing, quietly and to myself. Music is the closest thing to magic. I love meeting new dogs and cats. So, animals and music. These are always available to me. And I laugh at absurdity. Since all of life is absurd, I tend to laugh a lot. These are easy, simple, ubiquitous things: a constant stream of them, which I need to balance out the the ever-flooding negativity that comes with American life.
