The protests across the nation today illustrated freedom at work. It is something we should celebrate, even if disagreeing with the messages and purposes.
Some observations for consideration.
In many places around the world, such protests would not be allowed, or would be rejected violently.
In some places around the world, women are treated essentially as property of their husbands. At best, as second class citizens.
In some places around the world, females have been denied education.
In some places around the world, women have been stoned to death.
So, while America is imperfect, at least our freedoms are at work. We can speak our minds. We can join together in peaceful protest. We can pursue education. We can work. We can vote.
Some questions, in view of the numbers that turned out across our country.
Wonder how many of the protestors voted? Of those who voted, wonder how many voted for Clinton?
Finally, with the passion and intensity displayed today, where was Clinton?
