We have Donald Trump and his Simpering Scoundrels; we have pandemics; we have mindless embrace of unexamined orthodoxy on the left and mindless derision of those orthodoxies on the right. So there is a case we live in the worst of times. (Although, I would say 1968 was worse.)
But it is also the best of times.
Because we also have youtube and this morning I stumbled upon the Marsh Family and after they blew me away with an understated little song, I was able to google them and find out more and be even more inspired.

This may provide a model for resistance. If we could only mobilize a thousand Marsh families--a tough challenge, given the level of intelligence and talent in this group--we might just bring Trump down.

We have 330 million souls living in America. Do we have even a hundred folks who can do what these folks do?
Mad Dog,
ReplyDeleteThank you VERY much!!! Just when all appears lost and bad news and outrage the new norm, when crawling into a cave and staying there indefinitely seems the most prudent option….here’s the Marsh family!!! The perfect antidote to the Trump poison!! We need more of this- much more!! Just wish this breathtakingly brilliant crew were Americans!!

Somehow, I found myself wishing they were from North Dakota. Don't know why.
