Sterile Meeps

Meryl Streep said:
All of us in this room, really, belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it. Hollywood. Foreigners. And the press. ~ NYT
Really Meryl?  Because to my ear, the most vilified segment of American society right now are Trump voters. When will you learn some history, Meryl Streep?
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. ~A. Lincoln (1861)
h/t: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Plaque at Northeastern Illinois University


The Jacob Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies. 

Yellowbullet. Message board, people are not thinking too forgivingly about this mistake. It is going to talk a long time to fix this depth of stupid, if that is even possible. 

Living just enough, just enough for the city.
