"What does the modern world know of love, with its light touching of the surface of love. It has never reached down into the depths, to the misery and pain and glory of love which endures to death and beyond it. We have not yet begun to learn about love. Now is the time to begin, to start afresh, to use this divine weapon.
Martin Gugino, Pacifist Protester, Catholic Worker Movement
What we would like to do is change the world–make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe and shelter themselves as God intended them to do. And to a certain extent, by fighting for better conditions, by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute–the rights of the worthy and the unworthy poor in other words, we can to a certain extent change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world.
We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world."
Dorothy Day, Catholic Worker, June 1946
"The government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy."

The SP 500 is still lagging behind.
Tech is the crème de la bubble.
Gold managed to continue to add to its rebound, with the Dollar continuing to give up ground.
Silver gave up a bit of its rebound from yesterday.
Trumpolini smeared the 75 year Martin Gugino, who was tossed to the ground by police and injured. He falsely claimed that the pacifist protestor was an Antifa agitator, and speculated that he may have been critically injured in order to set the police up.
Trump has a disordered mind and is a pathological liar. But what about the rest of us?
Have we lost all decency, common sense, and regard for the truth?
Whom do we serve?
Have a pleasant evening.
