I set out to make this blog a place to share stories of things going on in our lives in Colorado.  But damn, the events of the past two weeks, cumulating in the attack on our nation’s capital on Jan 6 make anything I have to say about what’s going on here seem trivial and out of touch.  In my life I never thought I’d see armed insurrgents storming our nation’s capital, let alone the president encouraging them to do so.  But here we are.  

What’s most amazing to me is not that Donny Small Hands is a con man.  Everyone knows that.  What’s amazing is that so many people fell for the con and so many others either encouraged it or stood by and let it happen.  If nothing else, these events are the perfect argument for why we need to be teaching critical thinking in school.

This guy sums it up as well as anyone I’ve heard.
