So what are we to do?

Certainly we must prevent that MF Trump from retaking the presidency.

Ms. Peterson, I wish I knew.

We must Vote! Everyone must Vote! I hope you are not suggesting to your readers that because of your opinion of Harris that she should not be president, and that people don't need to vote. It kind of seems that is the case. Please tell me why that is not what you are saying.

First off, Ms. Peterson, I don't "suggest" anything to my readers for I speak, read and write with brutal goddamned precision. Further, I don't expect for you to have respect for, nor appreciate, my existence as a Black Man in the United States. Nonetheless, there is a reason that this publication has the title it does.

I am not here to appease European-Americans as "we" are constantly bombarded with their paternalistic and arrogant opinions. THIS is mine and feel free to unsubscribe (it happens everyday). Do not get on this thread with white supremacist criticisms. You may "own" everything else, but my mind belongs, exclusively, to me.

For further elucidation on your query, you might reference today's article. https://rohnkenyatta.substack.com/p/bernie-sanders-what-if

Wow? your words are breathtaking! I'm going have to look up some of them in my college dictionary to fully understand the truth you've put forth here today. Food for thought, Thank You.

Well Ms. Scofield the method is not madness for even a babe in the woods soon realizes that the singular thing, in human existence, for which no argument can be provided is emotion.

That is why there are so many arguments.

A trifle confusing, I know, but give it some thought.

How fortuitous of you as I just subscribed to your newsletter and am looking to see more of your work.

I’m crude, rough and full of grammatical mistakes! But, imaginative and lots of nuggets for side stories. Working on idea of a memoir that is a bunch of short stories.

It matters not, for writers are the most pathetic of all artists because no matter how good we become the goalposts perpetually move further away. There is no Nirvana for us; not if we are for real. I always tell others that nothing I write is as good as it could be, but it is always better than I think it is. That is as good as it will ever get for me.

The brilliant thinker and bestselling author Thom Hartmann once said to me, in a very matter-of-fact and stern admonishment consisting of two words: "writer's write."

I have never, ever forgotten it; nor will I.

You ought not either and always be mindful of the last three letters of the word "think."

That’s awesome! The other day there was a Scoobe Do meme where Fred pulled the mask off the person that’s keeping them from writing and it was Fred!

I needed a laugh so badly at this time, the cosmos heard my plea. And like lightening in a thunderstorm, a conduit were thee!

Quick side story and I’ll move on. I was curious for years as to what Nixon was talking about when he made the “and Scooby-Doo” comment and how if that had anything to do with the Sly Stone song. I asked ChatGPT if there was any connection and I guess it’s just a coincidence as far as anyone knows! Great song though!
