"It lay broken in half, and he looked into its trunk as into the mouth of a black tunnel.  The trunk was only an empty shell; its heart had rotted away long ago; there was nothing inside--just a thin gray dust that was being dispersed by the whim of the faintest wind.  The living power had gone, and the shape it left had not been able to stand without it."  -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

The Capitol riot should have been a wake-up call for both the left and the right. 

For the right:  Wow… the right does riot.

For the left:  Wow… riots are awful.

I'm not sure the country can survive if the right acts like the left.  It reminds me of parents who are fed up with their teen so decide to act like him.

The woman who was killed shouldn't have charged the Capitol.  She shouldn't have trespassed.  I do not support the officer being charged.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”  -John Kennedy
