A clear and distinct difference.

The insurrection on 6 January was a mob using violence to retain their privileges and perceived "rights" and thereby constrict the rights of others (especially 81 millions voters). The protests in the streets this past summer was about a group of people looking to access their legitimate rights after having been denied those through a century of Jim Crow and Bull Connors.

1. Your post made me think of a paragraph I read this morning -:It started with q quote of Emerson:

Emerson said:"What is the hardest task in the world? To think." The paragraph went on"Obviously this is so, when one considers that most of us are victims of mass thinking and feed upon suggestions from others. We all know the law of cause and effect is inviolable, yet how may of us ever pause to consider its workings? The entire course of a man's life has many times been changed by a single thought coming to him..

We often do not stop tho recognize how the dUmpster controlled so much of the American dialogue and our daily thoughts...he ruled tWittler with an iron fist..this he understood and I for one am glad he is forbotten from this medium for all time to come.

To a better group think and national dialogue.
