Let’s share a 2020 resolution: complain less.
There will be more space for positive thoughts and actions. Remember, we elect those “others” that represent us, and in a sense, they are extensions of our collective selves. Trump spoke a truth. He got elected largely by declaring that Washington (money plus arrogance) is fucked up.
Of course he is ignorant. Of course he has a pathological sense of self. Action, not whining, makes a difference. We’re all less than perfect in all different ways, while greed comes in all shapes and sizes.
Voluntary socialism (paying your fair share) is logical as well as moral. Taxes are necessary and wealth must be distributed more equitably.
We are wired for survival, not so much for compassion, which is a trait that evolves through social interaction and the evolution of consciousness. There is light and dark, yin and yang, sense and nonsense, Bernie and Donald. The universe seems to have a rhythm, as well as a brutal sense of humor.
Make sense, support Bernie Sanders for president!

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
