Today is election day in many places.  It will be interesting to see if Democratic candidates can make any headway.  I have my doubts, actually. 

Something is happening in this country that is sinister and shameful:  I fear we are moving far away from what always made us great: a open society that welcomed people from all beliefs, races, genders, etc.  Of course there were always those who didn't; but until recently they were in the minority.  With the Presidential election of 2016 all that has changed.
