You Tubers and Birthdays

You Tube has become the insanity of the serious. The questions on last night's debate were as droll and unrealistic as my favorite satire, The Wittenberg Door. This morning's denial by CNN and the Clinton campaign people that they knew nothing about the plant in the audience is as laughable as the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Religious."

The news just kills me. This morning I read that South Dakota has the lowest rate of depression in the US; in the same article their suicide rate is among the highest. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Today is the birthday of three of my favorite writers, the authors of Little Women, The Chronicles of Narnia, and A Wrinkle in Time. L'Engle said, "You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."
