Dear Donald Yet Again

Dear Donald,

Yes, George Washington was a slave owner.
He also wore a wig.

I suggest you adopt the latter,
and don't worry quite so much about the former,
because we are not about to Just Say Yes
to becoming your colony of enslaved worker bees.

Or, you might just adopt George Washington's haircut.
He didn't bother with the comb-over.

Speaking of comb-overs,
What does the evil of George Washington legally owning people
reduced to economically valued property
have to do with a balanced global view of human rights and violent wrongs
in the year 2017,
heading toward anti-comb-over 2020 revisions?

I'll take my answer off-line.
If I see you in a wig
I'll know your answer is
EcoPolitically clueless about health as truth-wealth, 
as usual.

OutRageously NotListening Yours,

Your Uppity HairDesigner Slave
