Folks, just a few words of perspective:<\/p>\n

November 8th was the election, and, yes, many people are angry and upset at the outcome, and others are simply saddened, or\u00a0concerned.<\/p>\n

November 9th? \u00a0The anniversary of the beginning of Kristallnacht, the two-day period of violence against Jews and the destruction of Jewish property, particularly synogogues, in Germany, in 1938. \u00a0(For a refresher, see Wikipedia<\/a>.) \u00a0There was a comparison floating around on twitter that the election of Trump is just as bad as Kristallnacht, which is a pretty dumb comparison.<\/p>\n

Also: \u00a0in 1989, the fall of the Berlin Wall<\/a>. \u00a0It was, of course, mere coincidence that these two events occured on the same date, 51 years apart.<\/p>\n

November 10th: \u00a0well, not that you all would know, but November 10th was an anniversary, too \u2014 the one-year anniversary of the death<\/a> of a close friend of my husband\u2019s. \u00a0As his widow marked this anniversary on facebook, we were all reminded to put the election into perspective.<\/p>\n

And \u2014 by the way \u2014 the stock market yesterday had its second day of gains<\/em> rather than losses. \u00a0Yeah, I didn\u2019t expect that, particularly after what happened when the UK unexpectedly Brexited.<\/p>\n

And today, November 11th, is Veteran\u2019s Day, so thank a veteran. \u00a0My dad served, but was lucky enough to have been sent to Germany in the early 60s, where he had a fun time and has nothing but good memories. \u00a0His college roommate was in the Air Force ROTC, got sent to Vietnam, and was shot down almost immediately.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
