If I had any learning
Of a highway wide and fit,
Would I lose it at each turning?
Yet look at people spurning
Natural use of it!
See how fine the palaces
And see how poor the farms,
How bare the peasants’ granaries
While gentry wear embroideries
Hiding sharpened arms,
And the more they have the more they seize,
How can there be such men as these
Who never hunger, never thirst,
Yet eat and drink until they burst!
There are other brigands, but these are the worst
Of all the highway’s harms.*
  The Way of Life According to Lao Tzu

New thought on an issue I’ve addressed before:

In a speech, July 15, at Carnegie Mellon University, Donald Trump boasted that his uncle, MIT Professor John Trump taught Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

Kosinski earned a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and master’s and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.  His and Professor Trump’s paths never crossed.

If Donald concocted this story, he is a liar; If he believes it, he is delusional!

In either case, we have a deeply flawed, potentially lethal mind in the Oval Office!
