What now

Okay, we watched as over a million people marched in cities all over the world to let our leaders know we do not like what is happening in the world.  They marched to let leaders know that their voices would be heard.

What now?  It is all well and good to demonstrate for lofty ideals but how do you make those ideals stick.  Obviously legislation does not work that can be changed with the stroke of a pen.  As that guy in the white house is showing us.  So what does make permanent change.

I would challenge those amazing people who marched and showed how much they cared about this country and the rights of the people in it to come up with a plan that will work.  A plan that cannot be legislated away.  Laws truly change nothing.  They are only rules by which someone says we have to live.  They do not have much to do with how each and every one of us lives on a daily basis.  They do not have much to do with how we treat our neighbors, our friends, our families or strangers we encounter.  That comes from our hearts and our beliefs about how the world should be.

Right now we are dealing with a government who does not see any of the people in the United States as real people with real lives who mean something.  The leader of this country seems to spend far to much time in the mirror telling himself what a great thing he has a accomplished and how he is the best thing in the world.  He does not know we exist and we can march, scream or anything else and he will not hear us.  He does not care.  He got what he wanted.  Power.  Power over millions of people.

We have a narcissistic egomaniac in the topmost leader role of this country and he has surrounded himself with people who want a piece of that power and will do whatever it takes to get it.

We better come up with a plan to fight this and it better be a good one or our democracy is done and we will have a dictatorship before anyone can even begin to stop him.
