1) I'm probably what you would call a progressive. That said, I was so relieved to see Harris handle the protesters in the way she did. I have been worried that some of my less mature kith and ken would make a big stink out of issues that we care about but which I think are so much less important than what's at stake now. She didn't dismiss their concerns, in fact, earlier she acknowledged that they are legitimate concerns. She showed real leadership by demanding that they show respect. She did them a real favor. Her look was withering too, by the way. My sainted mother gave me that look a time or two.
2) The Ukrainians have and will surprise the rest of a world not accustomed to how free people act. Free folk are unpredictable. That's a feature, not a bug. You might notice that our new Democratic ticket is exhibiting the same trait. These people are heroes and a blessing to the World. We should be more bold in our support.
