to rock out on old Zep etc., and I watched a video about the Holocaust. It is amazing how many people go on there and post doubt and denial.

Very few people are still alive who experienced it. Do we forget so easily? Why so much hatred toward Jews? Toward Muslims? People of color? Women? GLBTQ people?

I have a good friend who is a local government elected official. She's Jewish, and many of her family were killed in Poland during the Holocaust. She's terrified of the Republicans right now.

To hate a whole group of people that much is so wrong, such a misuse of our life force, and to act on that hatred like many are now? That is quite alarming.

But hey, hundreds of thousands of us may die from this coronavirus that Trump has so mishandled. Like the Spanish Flu at the end of WWI. That killed something like 18 million worldwide - as many or more than the war killed.

Our species really isn't doing very well at the moment, is it?
