the topic of police keeps surfacing as a central point naturally in many discussions. In the U.S. I wish there was more monitoring thru holding the reigns or loosening the reigns thru distribution/ non-distribution of luscious grant monies.

Have fun in Rome, enjoy. They’ll be plenty here for you when you return. Duterte fits the culture. It appears, the authoritarian figure has a defined space in which to function, and be. Similar designs, but there are culture sensitivities, that must be followed. While you are gone, J.D. won the Republican nomination for Ohio. Impressive numbers. He has the potential to do some very real damage to democracy. Definitely, one to watch, as our own Authoritarian power continues its fateful rise toward glory. Apparently, SCOTUS, aka, Theology Central, is in place. Time will tell. Safe travels.
