Protests of all sorts, from social media to marches are everywhere since Trump’s election and even more since his inauguration. This is an interesting phenomenon. The size and scope of these occurrences is probably, in part, due to social media. The women’s march was organized in hours.

I wonder: If some folks discovered a poison ivy bush had been planted right in the center of their local park, and they were legally thwarted from simply ripping the damned thing out, what should they do? How should they approach the dilemma?

Question #1: Why is it there? Answer #1 : There was a vote. You lost. Your neighbors agreed to plant it there.

Question #2: Is it damaging anything? Answer #2: No. Not yet. It has dangerous potential, but no harm has been done so far.

Question #3: Will yelling and breaking windows or setting fires get rid of it? Answer #3: You’re kidding. Right?

Question #4: Shouldn’t all this wrath against the poison ivy really be focused on why the bush was planted in the first place? Answer #4: How dare I confront angry people with reason and logic?!  THEY HAVE RIGHTS!
