Potawatomie Trail of Death in 1838 — not as famous as Cherokee Trail of Tears….this deserves an essay

Some Bart Ehrman book reviews…Misquoting Jesus was a bit repetitive, The Triumph of Christianity is probably a better one to start with, it better answers the larger question

Something on the psychological/societal forces that might help explain Trumpism to future generations…already lots of good examples out there, but, assuming a direct descendant may read this someday it may help them understand how an average person perceived this illogical phenomenon…of course the act of writing it out helps me sort it out in my head and may be therapeutic…perhaps the “cult angle” and the natural tendency to double-down on a defective belief system described in a recent Atlantic article might be a starting framework…this topic seems relatively undesirable at this time as maybe this insanity all goes away someday…I’m afraid not, though…the formula has been released

Questions of My Childhood

Well I walk the road of life among the strong, among the weak
And I ask them for the shortcut to the answers that I seek
But no one seems understands what is and what will be
For the questions of my childhood weave a web of mystery
Just a web of mystery
