State Of Our Politicians
But this morning, I still can't help thinking about the State of our Politicians.
The picture from Virginia governor, Ralph Northam medical school yearbook is outrageous, and yet he refuses to step down.
This didn't happen when he was kid, but as a responsible adult.
And even for those of us who believe in personnel change and forgiveness, there has to be accountability for something this callous, hurtful, bigoted and offensive.
What happened to our politicians being true patriots, looking out for our good and the best interests of our nation?
One lady said to a group of us last evening:
I know who I am going to vote for in the next elections, and it's NO ONE currently in political office!
To which another gentleman replied:
It doesn't matter who you vote for, a politician always wins.
Somehow, I still have faith that there are people who can rise to the occasion and be the leaders that they must be. ;-)

Foreboding GW Masonic Memorial
On one hand, it is quite a large and impressive structure (9 floors and 333 feet sitting atop Shooter's Hill).
It is fashioned after the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, the 7th wonder of the world, that was built after 290 BC, and which guided trade ships into the busy harbor of Alexandria, Egypt.
On the other hand, this memorial is quite spooky in its shape of narrowing ascending floors over a protruding larger base, as well as the noticeable pentagram (often used to signify paganism and the occult) that sits at the top.
There is also the Freemason square and compass with a big G in it built and displayed in the ground in front of the building.
The symbols and the building itself just seem more than a little eerie--whatever the rituals are that go on there.
In a way, I can't stop looking at the photo of this building...it's sort of mesmerizing.
But I feel it somehow has the draw of a dark and foreboding place.
Like the Lighthouse of Alexandria that was destroyed by three earthquakes between the 10th and 14th centuries, I have an unsettling feeling about this as well.
Maybe it's just a feeling...or maybe it's something more. ;-)
