Will Trump use Putin as a template for himself? God knows he cannot tolerate much of the media or anyone he deems unsatisfactory including the members of the American Intelligence Community. Are they all on notice and waiting to see how Trump's dislike for them will be manifested by him?

What can he do to members of the press besides ban them from his news conferences? Can he imprison them?

I even cry at funny films sometimes :P I cry especially at the happy bit after something sad happened.. that's the bit that gets me most.. When I was a kid I used to cry at every single Lassie programme!! I once had a friend... we used to go for a meal and a movie together... I said to him I like any film except war films... so he took me to see a war film..and guess what it made me blub... Next time he took me to see a comedy... it made me blub... funny thing was he stopped coming to see me fairly soon after that :PI guess there's no hope for me.. .daughter saw I was tearful and blubbing.. she gave me a huge pile of M & Ms lol to cheer me up... less

That is a **-backwards of course but what he is apparently admired/worshipped/loved for is exactly that. His a **backwardness! Go figger!

Unless of course a miracle occurs and he realizes what a terrible human being he is and repents. That would take a miracle of great magnitude. Anyone still believe in miracles? Why?

What toll does it take on anyone to be the object of massive intense rejection? Is anyone strong enough and tough enough and thick-headed enough to survive it? How?

They are emotionally bankrupt so they see no problem electing a head of state who mirrors their inadequacies. Vicious circle/vicious cyclel isn't it? The emotionally bankrupt beget emotionally bankrupt children and so it goes forever after. How do we stop it?

All they care about is winning at any cost no matter how depraved. Which is why our society is so screwed up and always will be. The problem is in the people, not the institutions. Will we ever fix the people so they will want to do the right thing? How?

So I'll ask whether somebody you know (call him/her Joe or Jo), whether it's creating problems, and whether it can be changed.
I was just signing off on an email and realized that the name "Just Asking" could probably lead to some confusing situations, sort of like the "Who's on first?" schtick.

Puff the Magic Dragon was one such song but songwriter Leonard Lipton says that's not true. Can you think of any songs that contain a hidden message?
Anne McCaffrey's Pern stories are superb and anybody who likes fantasy and high adventure would probably enjoy them. But what about YOU? Do you have a favourite Dragon story?
