I am a Strange Loop -
Can thought arise out of matter? Can self, soul, consciousness, `I` arise out of mere matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here?

quote [ In an incident that echoes Donald Trump's "pussy-grabbing" controversy, a Republican politician has been arrested and charged with sexual assault after an altercation with a woman ended with him grabbing her crotch.
Christopher von Keyserling, a 71-year-old member of the Representative Town Meeting in Connecticut (a form of local government), is accused of insulting and then assaulting a staffer during a disagreement over none other than Donald Trump himself. . ]

I fully endorse your right to protest, even protest the outcome of an election, nothing so clearly reveals the antidemocratic sentiment baked right into your politics. Like the Nazis, it allows us all to see how great the forces are arrayed against democracy and rule of law. And when the violence breaks out, as it will, because it’s the yin to your anti-democratic yang – you’ll be quick to distance yourself from it, even though it is a sure an element in your protest as the silly hats. These are your people. Thuggery comes naturally to them. It’s so predictable, you almost needn’t go through the motions.
