Violence will not fix the trump problem

 As you've no doubt heard, there was an attempt on Donald Trump's life last night in Pennsylvania. Trump's right ear was bloodied but he's otherwise alright. At least two people in the crowd behind trump were also hit. It appears that at least one of them has died.

Assassinations or targeted violence because of political issues will do absolutely nothing to address the problems our Country is facing. Absolutely nothing. In fact, if last night's attempt would have been successful, the damage to our Nation would have been immediate and devastating.

This must stop. We must strengthen our resolve to pursue our political ends through the effective and time-honored method of voting for candidates and issues we support when elections are held and then move forward.

That's the only way. If we can't see that and govern--literally, govern ourselves accordingly--then democracy's light will be going out and going out fast.
