Note: No quotes or citings here, just an anecdotal story of a personal friend's experience. He said to feel free to disclose his name, but I see nothing that might add to the topic. I'm willing to do so for good reason, and I do intend to report back to him on the results of this posting; he has (too) little interest in 'politics'. ;(

A friend of mine in his 50's has found himself the victim of a combination of 'odd' circumstances, exacerbated by the callous ruthlessness of this administration and its inability to accept that 'exceptions' are the rule.

I moved to Canada over 4-1/2 yrs ago for love (got that one behind me, anyway! LOL), and have since watched the events in the States, in horror, from the sidelines. I'm opening with a short poem a wrote a while back:

"The Little Chicken"

"The sky is falling!" Little Chicken said,
As he brought the heavens down upon his head.
"This great evil we must defeat!"
As he marched to the devil's beat.
"Democracy we must defend!"
As he schemed to bring it's end.
"We must export democracy!"
...Now there's none left, at home, for me...
