Maybe most of the time during these times I would give little heed to the admonitions from many politicians. However, thinking back a few generations, I am mulling over a paraphrased recommendation from TR (1) (not FDR) (2). It goes something like this: Walk softly and carry the best self-protection equipment. (3) Or something like that.
(1) TR, Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President, 1901 - 1909.
(2) FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 32nd President 1933 to 1945, (died while president, early in the 4th term.) (The first and perhaps the last 4 term president?) Never say never.
(3) "Speak softly and carry a big stick." is the real quote. At least until someone says they were there, and what they heard was different.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
