Are you familiar with the concept of narcissistic rage, and narcissistic injury? When such people are insulted they feel compelled to respond, to do action, they feel every fibre of their being needing to burst forth with action, just like people who have their hand on a hot stove burner feel compelled to remove their hand from the stove. I am not going to get into an argument whether Trump really is a narcissist or not from a technical discussion. I bring this up to illustrate a point, that what the majority of people would do in a situation is not always possible for all people, that certain people think differently than other people.

And this 2nd sentence you bring up is what makes this even more tragic, it feels like a self inflicted wound for while you are pretty smart Random Thoughts, I think almost all people would instinctively do what you are saying. To not engage in something that just has no upside.

It feels tragic for we are going to have Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump for president...god I feel the need to have a drink right now.

On another note are you doing fine? If I recall your son is in the marines or something? Is he still serving or has he found another occupation?
