    Hi Rosie:

    I think she was just trying to send a positive and encouraging message, not implying anything specific to fear.

    Oh. Okay Stu thank you. I just caught the tail end of her speech so I didn't really have any context. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it! :)

    Perhaps the message is don't go through life believing to be a victim or risk going through it as one. That is something to fear. This post was edited by O-uknow at January 16, 2017 3:59 AM MST

    True. FDR said "we have nothing to fear but fear itself". I'm not sure I totally agree with that but I get your point. Thank you for your reply O and Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day Monday to you! :)

    Bill Clinton? What power does he have? He is an old man just like Trump but Trump has ALL the power or will have a in a few days. I guess I'm missing the point you're trying to make. Apologies. Thank you for your reply TomT.

  • Michelle is giving some good advice. A good lesson for anyone. The only fear that any of us have out here is remaining focused and empowered in the world according to Barack Obama.

    I don't understand. Is that a dig or a compliment to Barack Obama? It's hard to tell and I can't respond unless I know what you mean. I don't. Apologies driftwood.
