In the early days of the automobile, it was common for families to “take rides” together, perhaps on Sundays. for no other purpose than to see the countryside. Now that the novelty of the car is far behind us, and especially with the price of gasoline, few people people do this today.
Hot-air ballooning, however, is another concept. I just met a guy who has given rides over 100,000 people over a 35-year period. He finished 18th in a national competition for landing accuracy out of 650 contestants.
The fuel: propane–and not too much of it. Almost all of the movement of the balloon is created by the wind.
I suppose there are people who believe that the radical left is on a path to make Christianity illegal, and perhaps to install Islam as the official religion of the United States. This is remarkable for two reasons:
a) Every schoolchild in America learns about the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion at a very young age, and
b) This country made it successfully though 250 years with no one being ignorant enough to bring up this ridiculous concern.
One would hope that this figure of near 60% would indirectly translate into Trump’s ouster before he can take full control of the U.S. government.
We vote Trump’s stooges out of office in November and replace them people of honor. Trump is impeached, convicted and removed. From there, justice takes its course.
