Thanks, Ken. I think I do understand how many,many people have been ignored, shut out, abandoned, and made obsolete by the forces that operate the world. I also think it's a failure on the part of both parties though I'm inclined to give more blame to the Democrats. They used to represent the underdog. The Republicans haven't done so since Lincoln. If Trump could make an effort now to heal the Great Divide, he could win some support from his sceptics. The divide we see right here is a microcosm of the bigger world. Perhaps we can ease up on the rancor. There's always plenty to argue about. Yelling never seems to advance understanding.
