I believe the group photo above is of my relatives at a reunion in 1978 --when Jimmy Carter posthumously restored Jefferson Davis to U.S. citizenship.
Let's close with a favorite, apposite quote from General Evangeline Booth: "What the world needs now is a revolution, but it must be a revolution of love."
Geo. I dunno. Is there a statute of limitations on treason? On attempts to overthrow the government? If so, trump has only to wait a hundred or so years I guess. I'm just not as forgive and forget as Jimmy is/was.
ReplyDeleteDear Mike, I dunnno either. Can only hope Trump's following is in its cultic stage and will tire out by and by.
DeleteI don't know what we need now, but more of the same isn't it. Hard to believe that that was their only protection against the horrors that awaited them.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I reckon General Booth's observation addressed an optimism that is lamentably rare.
DeleteA revolution of love is long overdue.
ReplyDeleteHistorically, there is evidence of such movements in every era, but they must contend with close-minded mobs.
DeleteLove is a good idea. The chaos of hatred makes me tired.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Emma. Bigotry and education don't mix well. The result is always chaotic.
DeleteEveryone in the family certainly looks a lot alike.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
True, Junie. They each often confuse themselves with one another.
