Mercilessly . . .

. . . imposing . . .

Days of endless potential
Face me constantly it seems
Without the imposition of
Schedules and deadlines
There is freedom to accomplish
Whatever demands are revealed
At any moment
And the promise of fulfillment
Resulting in ultimate contentment
It's merciless

Merciless

Another . . .

. . . room

Writing this letter
To tell you how much
That I think of you

Every light,
Every glimmer
And sparkle
Reminds me of you

In spectacular sunsets,
At the dusk of the day
Or the glorious morning
As the mist melts away
There your smile is

All your movements
Are poetry,
Gracefully pleasant to see
When combined with your wit
One is entertained consistently
How I wish you were,
Right now, here with me,
But wait . . .

Sometimes I'm so overwhelmingly
Consumed by these thoughts
And I wish I could hold you
So badly, so close
That I fail to remember
An obvious fact
You're not far, far away
Over land, over sea,
But just footsteps from me
In the very next room

Two. . .

. . . and a half years . . .

Seems to me, that for the two-plus years that the orange man has been the center of national attention, that our press (which, by the way we actually DO need to remain active and free) should have learned ways to better convey to the American public the character of this individual. At this writing, some outlets have improved in some ways; but how could they not, considering how ridiculous some of his antics have become. My advice is, that when a statement is issued, (for example . . . "he blamed US policy -- not Putin -- for the dismal state of relations between the two countries. . ."[from https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/16/politics/donald-trump-putin-helsinki-summit/index.html])
for which an opportunity is not provided the press for questions, a note be made. The outrageous statement should then be questioned in the very next press conference, be it with a spokesperson or 45 himself. If (and this will most certainly be the case) a clear, logical answer is not provided, the question should be asked (not necessarily during the same press conference) each time the press has an opportunity to ask questions. When the spokespeople or 45 lose patience with hearing the same question and have still not provided a REAL answer, the reporter(s) must clearly and unequivocally explain that a proper answer has not, to date, been provided and that the American people demand as much.

In Response . . .

. . . to recent coverage of ejection of a news reporter from a press event for asking 'tough' questions and comments made by the 'team' in DC . . .

(from http://www.wiseoldsayings.com/respect-quotes/)
"Tolerance only for those who agree with you is no tolerance at all. "
-Ray Davis

"Men are respectable only as they respect."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong. "
-William J. H. Boetcker

“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say."
-Bryant H. McGill

“Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given."
-Hussein Nishah

Informed . . .

(from https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2018-01-30/information-overload-exhausting-americans-survey-says)

"A 2018 Gallup survey in partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a Miami-based non-profit that supports journalism, reports that 58 percent of respondents say staying well informed is difficult, while only 38 percent say they believe it's easy. . . "We are seeing people pulling back into their own little domains," Busteed says. "Seven out of of 10 Americans share articles only with people that they feel are like-minded. We have all these different sources of information out there but people are retrenching into their own social networks.". . . When it comes to who is responsible for ensuring Americans do get access to an accurate and politically balanced understanding of the news, the public is divided: 48 percent say the news media should be up for this task, while same percentage say the responsibility rests with individuals. . ."
