My hope ...

I'm a 1960's Peace & Lovenik, a Vietnam war protester, a McGovern supporter, a Bobby Kennedy supporter before that.

Here we are today, democrats having their civil war, Bernie-ites vs. Clintonite's, it brings to memory what our military espoused during the war in Vietnam, " to save a village, we have to burn it down", in the case of the heated rhetoric between the Sanders and Clinton crowds, threats of sabotage in the form of not participating this November if their candidate isn't the party's nominee.

Sometimes it's the way it is, we hold our nose and make decisions that amount to the lesser between evils, to behave as though there's another choice up to each of us, and the consequences rest with us just the same.

For all the word grenades, the hateful disdain for one candidate or the other, this will pass and we'll learn what the outcome is to this primary season, what then ?
