  1. Sometimes humans need a time out.
    That includes Americans. Americans represent about 4.25% of the entire world population.
    Yes. Sorry. We Americans are in the minority as far as the planet is concerned.

    But still.
    For a few moments, a few precious moments of our American lives, let us pause.
    Just because pauses are needed at times.
    Pauses momentarily distract us from our petty, personally consuming beliefs and ideas, and hopefully, compel us, to realize that we a grains of sand blowing in the wind.

    Some momentary pauses in United States History.

    April 19th, 1775. Concord and Lexington.
    April 14th, 1965. Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
    Feb. 1918. Beginning of flu pandemic.
    Dec. 7th, 1941. Pearl Harbor.
    1953. Polio vaccine discovered.
    Nov. 22nd 1963. John Kennedy's assassination.
    April 4th, 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination.
    June 5th, 1968. Bobby Kennedy's assassination.
    July 20th, 1969. First human steps foot on the moon.
    July 28, 1986. Space Shuttle Challenger explodes minutes after launch killing everyone onboard.
    Sept. 11th, 2001. The World Trade Centers destroyed.
    Jan. 6, 2021 . . .American's storm the US Capitol in Washington, DC.

    Okay to take a time-out now and then.

    Hopefully to look at the past and understand the historical events that brought us all to this moment.
    Bad to make that momentary time-out something permanent.
    When we Americans do that . . . we open the doors for the monsters that want to destroy everything we and our ancestors fought and died for.
    Think about it.
