Diane Feinstein, US Senator, Aged 90

She fought the good fight. We got our money's worth. RIP.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell

I agree with LG's larger point. As a nation, we need to commit to developing younger leaders and fresh turnover, imo. Both major parties should be cultivating tomorrow's leaders. Instead, we have party elders refusing to turn over the reins of leadership.

Both major parties should be cultivating tomorrow's leaders. Instead, we have party elders refusing to turn over the reins of leadership. Congress is a self-licking ice cream cone. Only primaries really matter for house and senate and incumbents rarely lose. Term limits could be the answer but the status quo won't let that happen. 
Britain's iconic Sycamore Gap tree, set in a dip in the ancient Hadrian's Wall in an otherwise treeless landscape, was chopped down Thursday in what police have called "a deliberate act of vandalism." A 16-year-old male was arrested and authorities appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
The famous tree was hundreds of years old and was already a beloved local landmark when it featured in the 1991 movie "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," with Kevin Costner climbing atop the ruins of the ancient Roman wall next to it to deliver a few lines. In 2016, it was voted "English Tree of the Year."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
