Do you mean let it go like we did concerning the 2000 election when Screwy Suzy and her ilk helped give us the same types who in turn gave us the Robert's Court, a phony war in the middle east, and the rise of ISIS? Just forget about it. It's all in the past. Nothing to learn from this, nothing to really take in and be aware of. Let the perpetrators--or would that be simply traitors--off cause dwelling on it doesn't do any damn good and people are tired of hearing about it.

And with that logic, we can give Cosby a free pass, have a parade for Dylan Roof, and let's forget Charlottesville cause... well that was last Saturday and who wants to dwell on a bunch of "fine neo-Nazi's" who battered several unarmed folks and murdered Heather Heyer oh so many days ago? We've heard enough about that already, haven't we?

It's in the past. People are tired of listening to the same old story. Just delete it like you would a mistake in an email. Disremember because today is today and yesterdays gone and gotta seize the day and dwelling on the past won't help and the Sun will come out tomorrow and tomorrow is another day and the first day of the rest of your life and yadda, yadda, yadda.

And I've reached an ending with no good ending except to paraphrase Walter Cronkite: "And that's the way it is in what formally was America--BUT WE LET IT GO! Circa: Summer 2017.
