Quote of the day:
"It's very hard for me to be silly about Superman, because I've seen
firsthand how he actually transforms people's lives. I have seen
children dying of brain tumors who wanted as their last request to talk
to me, and have gone to their graves with a peace brought on by knowing
that their belief in this kind of character really matters. It's not
Superman the tongue-in-cheek cartoon character they're connecting with;
they're connecting with something very basic: the ability to overcome
obstacles, the ability to persevere, the ability to understand
difficulty and to turn your back on it."
-Christopher
Reeve (September 25, 1952 - October 10, 2004)

Trump's suggestion NFL owners fire players who kneel during the national anthem resulted in a major backlash prior to yesterday's games. And Why is Kaepernick taking a knee different from when Tebow does it?

Cynicism is killing our democracy. Only political participation can save it. "History is decided by the people that show up," and about 60 million people- about 1/5th of the country- showed up to vote for a boorish reality TV star with no experience in politics.

The new bans will take effect Oct. 18.
