1 While studying the art of the Renaissance period the single most important idea which seemed to be espoused through painting and sculpture was that the individual was important, not something which was to be blended into the surroundings like some matchstick figure. The emphasis on the individual’s grace and form, his god-like attributes made for the rise in more detailed attempts to capture those important attributes.

Your observation that certain segments of our society are headed in the wrong direction, that the “village” is all important. The Democratic Party, which should be identified as the Socialist Party, has taken on the agenda of the Communist Manifesto, all the while trying to look like the Democratic Party of old, a friend to all as if they had invented the assembly line. Buy a Ford – be a patriot, that kind of intended association holds true with the sheeple; Vote Democrat – Save America. If the sheeple were ever to get a whiff of the true nature of the Democratic Party they’d all become ill. Unfortunately, the Republican Party has a similar odor.

2 Some of us were aghast to discover photos of Hillary wearing the insignia of Illuminati witchcraft. Whether that is important to you, personally, and is on your "need-to-know" list is up to you. In doubt? Google :Hillary Clinton witch" for more info, including pictures.

BTW, "It Takes a Village" was written by someone else. Somehow she bought the rights to the book (including a slightly altered cover art). I don't know if buying the work outright stops what she did from being plagarism.

I've said it again and again, she is either a diabolical, master planner, or a gullible idiot who really didn't know her husband was having sex in the next room. Regardless, I'll never vote for the Witch of New York!
