This week I broke with my usual habit of avoiding television news to watch history in the making. Wednesday, January 6, 2021 was a day of immeasurable shame and disgrace for the United States. The Republican party enabled this horror show over the last four years and is totally responsible. And, just when I was feeling rather sanctimonious about being a retired Canadian baby boomer…
