all whites
democrats
Irish or Scottish
Not ALL, philosophers think.
All Japanese, all Chinese, all Indians…
Generalizing any group is ridiculous!...

All Russians love chili.
How do you know?
I met one once.

All Mexicans love bluebirds.
How do you know?
I heard from my cousin.

All Whites love Trump.

Title: What’s Bugging Me – WBM

People who make quick assessments
Who never bring the refreshments
They make me so mad
Being such a cad
I give them none of my best-ments.

speak up
life is not fair
women are discounted
not equal in so many ways
speak up


speak up
life is difficult
seasoned workers are invisible in the work place
ignored and bullied

If we all did it
Who would be left
to criticize?

If we all did it
Would we be kinder
to the others?

If we all did it
would there be any 
need to communicate?

If we all did it,

the doers from the non-doers?

Would we stop saying all 
when we are talking about
one group of people?

All Republicans?
All Democrats?
All men?
All women?
Does it make sense?...

Hillary must not feel that U.S. citizens are equal.
Maybe what will sway the vote is her e-mail scandal…
It is just too much for the enlightened voter to handle....
