Moses, Jesus, Spartacus, Socrates, Patrick Henry, Malala, Katniss, Yoda, Ray and the well-educated, magical powers of Harry Potter and his pals unite as a band of super heroes, who school poverty stricken children to aspire to grow up to be a brotherhood of Jedi Warriors so empowered by The Force that vulnerable young minds, throughout the world, will prove utterly resistant to being brainwashed by the dark side, thus eliminating the terrorizing army of storm troopers, necessary to bring world leaders to their knees. Undeniably, a film such as that would be worthy of earning $100,000,000 in one day without arousing my ire, at all!
What a wonderful world this would be if parents persistently prodded educational systems, world wide, to add speaking and listening skills (which prove so effective at resolving conflicts that they can't be beat) to the daily curriculum, beginning in pre school, when thirsty young minds prove as absorptive as sponges.
Now, let's imagine what children's minds would absorb if The Donald's political attitudes were to assume the role of leadeship during times of crises concerning:
Poverty
Education

Obama care
Medicare
Mental health
The melting pot
The contagious nature of warlike attitudes in the Middle East

American youth, so disillusioned at to be won over by ISIS
If something's broke, astute leadership must hold itself accountable for gaining insight into fixing that which has become dysfunctional before our nation's heartfelt principles have been extinguished, one by one.
Remember how quiet The Donald's ego became when foreign policy was debated? Somehow, his promise to restore our nation to greatness by providing for financial security grew utterly silent each time questions, relating to national security were raised for discussion.
Then, when The Donald finally voiced his opinions, concerning critical issues at home and abroad, we were aghast to witness political diplomacy cast to the winds as his attitudes demonstrated a second grade level of comprehension each time the subject was current events. Can the voice of this potential presidential candidate lead us toward achieving world peace or will The Donald's attitudes lead our nation into a nightmare where diplomatic relations are certain to sink ever more deeply into mental quicksand, framed in gold leaf?
I mean, seriously! If elected leadership is to be effective, voters need to absorb time-tested plans for conflict resolution, which are based in common sense!
And in keeping with today's train of thought, let's hope that The Story-telling Force within me will reawaken once this mind swirl of holiday festivities, celebrated, joyfully, with family and friends, has rung out the old year and welcomed the new ...
