And it just keeps going

I have a very deep longing to go somewhere, preferably the Scottish Highlands, and hide from absolutely everything.  No, I'm not joking.

Monday I nearly lost it with a client because we were talking politics and she brought up that no one followed the Constitution as far as a Presidents qualifications because Obama got elected and he wasn't a citizen.  I tried to stay calm but she laughed and said she thought I checked things out to see if they were true or not.  I walked out to the garage, closed the house door and tried to get myself together.  When I was calm, I walked in and apologized.  She said she was sorry that she didn't realize what a dedicated Democrat I was.   I told her that I belong to no party and vote the way I please.  I said I shouldn't have gotten so upset.  When I got home, it took seven and a half hours for me to calm down so that I wouldn't quit my job or commit suicide.

I have fooled myself into thinking that I am tolerant...I'm not.  These elections are scaring the crap out of me.  People are scaring me, they don't think things through.  Don't get the idea that I do, I try but don't always accomplish it.

It gives me some sort of weird satisfaction that the Republican Party is afraid Trump will win.  Why didn't they make some sort of plan for this situation?  People are angry, who knows why, but they are.  Trump sounds off and they like that because they feel they can't.  True, most of the shouting is racist and true, most of those who like him are racist as well.  Is there any way of brainwashing people so that they can accept people of color as humans?  The only thing I can see good about Trump winning is that we will ALL pull together to either get out of the country or to get rid of him.  He will be a dictator far greater than Putin (someone he admires).  As my Jewish clients say, he is Hitler incarnate!

Another thing that has me upset is our education system.  What are they teaching these days?  College students were asked about the Civil War.  Some thought it happened in 1970 or the '60's.  They didn't know who fought in it or who won.  They didn't even know the Vice Presidents name!  These kids are going to be in control of our country (if we have one left) one day!

I think I have it all out of my system now.  It would be so nice to have a horse and go for a ride in the country, enjoy the wind, the smells and the feel of the saddle between my legs.  Oh well, that's what I have an imagination for.
