Sounds like a few of those folks might consider themselves part of the Alt-Right Movement. I just listened
to a show about it yesterday. It provides a fascinating window into this extremist movement that has found
kinship with the Trump candidacy. https://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2016-08-29/the-rise-of-the-alt-right-movement-and-its-place-in-
this-years-presidential-campaignAnd as an antidote to the almost inescapable political white noise that permeates our media, my wife and I
visited Walden Pond today. We saw the site where Henry David Thoreau spent two years, alone in a small
cabin, leading a spartan and contemplative life. This quote of his really resonates with me:“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”Peter T.
