The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is good to remember the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin that “we must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

My faith is different than the cult of Trumpism.

Mine is an American faith.

I believe in freedom and the rights of all people.

I believe in the freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience and freedom to dissent.

I believe in the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I believe that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

I reject the violence of the state against the people as a preeminent evil.

I reject the lies of Donald Trump.

I reject the arrogance and stupidity of his henchmen and women. They are disgraces and imbeciles, who will never outrun their infamy or perfidy.

I reject MAGA and every aspect of its malice, violence, cruelty, dishonesty, scapegoating, racism, antisemitism, insanity, weirdness and lawlessness.

I reject Donald Trump and his twisted vision for America.

I reject American fascism.

I see it clearly.

It is a descending evil that must be stopped. The only thing in the world that can stop it is love.

Love of country.

Love of an idea.

As John Winthrop states in “Dreams of a City upon a Hill:”

“For we must consider that wee shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us”.
