As some have foreseen, we have dramatic new proof of life in the universe beyond Earth, as NASA announced the discovery of a new solar system containing up to seven earth-like planets. This adds to a growing list of exoplanets that could be inhabited by life, including intelligent life.
It requires us to continue to grow up in our perceptions about ourselves, our planet and our universe.

Electoral College Tragedies
So now, we begin a new scandal-ridden, incompetent , controversial, probably ultimately tragic, Electoral-only Presidential administration.
How we proceed and progress as a nation a this point may affect many generations to come
As usual, the likes of these administrations demonstrate, once again, the tragedy of our current Electoral College system.
As has been the case almost invariably in such outcomes, an incompetent extremist who could not ultimately win a general election has been given all power-- instead of merely some sharing of power in a "consolation prize" signifying a winning of a majority of the states.
Such outcomes have not served our nation well. There have been four since 1876 and the beginning of our current two parties.
