More Facts . . .

. . . to IGNORE . . .

(from http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-paris-agreement-science-research-wrong-misunderstood-latest-a7768296.html)
". . . Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) officials have said US President Donald Trump badly misunderstood their research when he cited it to justify withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. . . "Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100 . . . Tiny, tiny amount." . . . The Cambridge, Massaschusetts-based research university published a study in April 2016 titled "How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?" showing that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100. . . "If we don't do anything, we might shoot over 5 degrees or more and that would be catastrophic," said John Reilly, the co-director of the program, adding that MIT's scientists had had no contact with the White House and were not offered a chance to explain their work. . ."

(from http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kerry-trump-decision-abdication-of-responsibility/)
He (John Kerry, former Secretary of State) accused Mr. Trump of "unilaterally walking backwards from science and backwards from leadership on behalf of polluters and fringe ideologues," and said it "may be the most self-defeating action in American history."

Call . . .

Taking in my daily sustenance down at my local Scottish restaurant
When I noticed that my entree was more than I bargained for
Look what I got
The manager said there was compensation coming my way
But not today

Don't call us
Don't call us
Don't call us
We'll call you

Aunty Lynn said it would be a sin to waste my precious vocal expertise
So I took me to audition down at the prestigious theater called the Ritz
Producer man was nice as he could be
He said I was fine
But not this time

Don't call us
Don't call us
Don't call us
We'll call you

Seems I've been hearing the same thing since I don't know when
One with a little less confidence might just give in
I'm no one's fool unless I want to be
Life can be cruel
Won't someone please just call me

At the end of just what seemed to be a perfect evening just what did I do
Could it be something I said or didn't follow through
I wish I knew
We danced and dined
I even kissed your hand
Under a twinkling sky
I said goodbye when you cried

Don't call us
Don't call us
Don't call us
We'll call you

We'll Call You

Days . . .

Days may come and days may go
Fact and truth perpetually
Time flows like a river
That's bound for the sea. . .

Extremely. . .

. . . dangerous . . .

(https://newrepublic.com/article/138680/media-blew-election-now-theyre-blowing-transition-trump)
". . . The situation that confronts us is extremely dangerous, and not just for all the civic dissension Trump has inspired, or for his erratic, unpredictable nature. Apart from all the hiring Trump would have to do anyhow, his offensiveness and grotesque unfitness for office is likely to lead to an unusual number of civil-service departures. Relatedly, most decent, honorable professionals are not going to want to work for the Trump administration. At a nuts and bolts level, much of the federal government is going to be run by goons or not at all. This is on top of the fact that of all the basic things the president is required to do on a day-to-day basis—listen attentively, read closely, speak carefully—Trump lacks the intelligence and composure to do any of them. . .

Little . . .

. . . did they know that humankind possessed such tremendous potential to resist progress . . .

(inspired by https://www.righteousbabe.com/pages/we-gotta-stop-this)
[Excerpt from Federalist Paper 1]
"It has been frequently remarked, that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend, for their political constitutions, on accident and force."

[Excerpt from Federalist Paper 68]
"The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States."
