Listening to Rev 1

I AM NOT GOING TO PASSIVELY EXPOSE MYSELF TO SOMEONE WHO IS POISONOUS TO
MY SOUL. I CANNOT COMBAT THAT POISON IF I'M EATING IT."

                     Lester has named the President-elect; "The Whining Tweeter"

POISON;

What impact will it have on democracy, the nation, the world, the Republican and Democratic
Parties, the young and not-so-young, people of faith, of no religious faith, humanists, the future,
teaching/learning, the Arts, capitalism, industry, education, values, etc., if we do not challenge
with every fiber of our being, the toxic, poisonous fumes being exposed as we make a presidential transition? None of us are without flaws, thus our resistance to the poisons of
these moments is not directed at one person, but at the poisonous assumptions, attitudes and
actions that seem to be affecting our minds, hearts and spirits. We, if we do not resist up front,
will as so many who were silent during slavery and segregation came to wonder, "How could I, how could we, have been silent amidst the pollution of our ideas and ideals?"

There is a "violence about silence", that poisons the present and the future.
