You know…. There is sooooo much hate speech out there… I don’t understand. I understand different points of view. I understand healthy, vigorous disagreement. That’s ok. That’s how it’s supposed to work, but, I do not understand ugly, low level hate speech. Photos of Ms Obama ‘holding’ ( it’s photoshopped in) a sign that says ‘Biden touched my penis’. That’s just cheap, low class crap. Someone couldn’t get their idea across w/out something like this…. That’s sad…
Same w/ someone making fun of the president’s hair, or hands…. C’mon…. Though I disagree with 95% of what he says and does, I do not think attacks like that are the way to go… Parody is fine, but you can go to far… ‘Well, he goes to far’… you say… Yeah, but, I think America should not lie on their bellies, or go as low as someone else, to make a point… It’s ‘ well, so are you’… thinking….
Disagree… That’s good…. Cheap shots…. No… I expect better of you, America…. Or is that your imitation of Prewar Europe… ?
Sigh…
So, we went on a road trip to the DC area, for a uke fest, and a fantastic tour of Washington. Met some really great people. Saw some amazing things. Had some deeply moving experiences.
During our class with Gracie Terzian. Maggie was asked to help/demonstrate how to sing and play at the same time…. Fun…
Monday, we hit the streets/sites again, in DC. 
We cannot say how much we appreciate everyone we met, and, especially Mike, for the music, tour, adventure, friendship…
