Note to leaders (dear or otherwise). The youth of our nation are watching your actions.

Political parties, partisanship, self-indulgence, self interest, racism, homophobia, xenophobia and any of the other hater groups best be informed of the impression they are having on the youth of our nation. The youth and young adults are watching not just their parents in this but all officials behavior is under scrutiny.

These eventual, if not current, voters will have yer ass if you fail to act in the interest of the NATION as a WHOLE. Put aside your preconceived ideologies about one upping or stabbing others in the back so that your tiny brained thing, whatever it may be, can shine in your eye while darkening all others.

The public as a whole is acting in a collectively positive manner to this emergency. You damn well better too. Let your better angels prevail or you will pay a price you may not like at all. There will be history written. People will be talking about this event for generations to come. The details that you think are uninteresting may well become your albatross. What will the story say about you?

Who and what are you as an American in this emergency? How will you be remembered? Like Ron Paul? who went to the Senate gym and pool even while seriously suspecting he was infected with the corona virus? And is now in self quarantine.

Or, god help you, if you are associated as a genuflecting trump humper. If you think it doesn’t matter, that no one will notice, think again. Even as I write this trumps campaign is trying to force tv stations to not air campaign commercials that have video of him speaking about the corona virus. Even to the extent that they are threatening the station’s licenses with FCC action if they don’t comply. What kind of commercials would they make about you and what you have said or done? What will your family, friends and associates see in you after this is over?

Don’t make the mistake.....! The stories and tales, histories and documentation, video and audio will all be on display. Forewarned is forearmed, you are on notice.
