2. OMG such a great idea!!!

Can we also get a statue of the black man who rescued the white Texas man with the confederate flag?

[Nay]

4. I've also mentioned that I want a statue of Heather Heyer holding a protest sign and

trampling Nazi flags and Confederate flags under her feet.

6. Sheesh - just heard a Dallas doctor on MSNBC, who is helping with the rescue/relief efforts

say he worked the Hurricane Katrina disaster, and "this is going to be twice the size."

Oh, but, as my poor addled and thoroughly misguided and misinformed republi-CON friend told me - "this has NOTHING TO DO with global warming!!!"

... However, this heart warming image is antithetical to the current political climate, more specifically the last few weeks, where hate and fear of the other has been forced on all Americans by a *mal source.

What is particularly interesting is that while the mal source strives desperately to control the message, narrative of what it thinks America stands for--should be...ironically, to its dismay can't control the uncontrollable power of Nature even though it attempted to increase its ratings as it flippantly stated while millions of Texans braced for the hurricane of the century.

This past weekend it attempted to inject more hate and fear, more chaos but was usurped by a bigger source ...Nature. The photo depicts la verdad, yet the truth is not displayed only in this photo, many other images, videos, testaments showing fellow humans helping one another have surfaced --all relaying in concert ...that even in our darkest moment humanity, America is inherently good.

*mal: bad:evil:vile:sinister.
