I have quite a ways to go before I would ever consider myself a model of cooperation. Especially if we factor in not only actions but thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are in a time of great change, great strife, great division, and great manipulation by various forces bent on their vision of the future. I feel the best we can do is listen to others and find whatever common ground we can. If we don&#8217;t, we increase the probability of a descent into madness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is helpful to remember and consider that anger is most often a mask covering a core feeling of fear.  Its not easy being calm amid the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People wonder what party I belong to and I could say that mine is the Golden Party.  And there is only one rule for this party and that is the Golden Rule. I wish you peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh what I might have become.
