My heartfelt sympathies go out to most Americans who, still our friends, are embarrassed by the actions and words of their current leader. I was going to write something about his distorted comments and complete misrepresentation about fire, weather, forests, tariffs; but then I realized my anger and frustration would bleed into my words. So, I decided this would be better. Here are the words of two sane Americans: Jill Dennison, a wonderful blogger whom I’ve followed for years; and Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor.
Reflection on injustices experienced by me and others from a Canadian woman's perspective.
Hindsight: My Journey 
Over my childhood I watched my sperm donor go from smiling to “red-faced with rage” in one second just because myself or one of my siblings entered a door Probably in his mind disrupting whatever he was doing before he was so rudely interrupted. Or maybe he was a bully in his own home.
Those experiences taught me, in some cases in specific, rage is not a feeling or an emotion, but a choice. I learned how to watch myself to learn my emotions. I have not experienced true anger ever since, unless it was by design. (I can make myself red-faced with anger, but only in public places, to attract attention to being ignored, when there needs for something to change. At those times I may not look it, but I am in full control of the difference between how I look and how I feel inside.)
