Dear Friends,

I woke up this morning and the heat was on in my house. I think this is against the law in June! Mother nature cannot make up her mind whether it is summer or fall. One day it is in the 80s and the next it is 50. Nevertheless, we did get to ride over to Lake George for the Americade rally. It was a great ride through the Adirondacks.

As we witnessed yet another senseless act of violence in Washington, it is a reminder that we are sometimes isolated from the violence that permeates our world today. There are literally dozens of wars being fought in places like Somalia, India, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Peru, Congo and honestly too many areas to mention. All of this violence is senseless, inhuman and uncivilized. Non-violence should be the highest pursuit of humanity. Thomas Edison said “Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.”

It is so strange to see that amazing scientific advancements we, as humans, achieve. Self-driving cars, missions to Mars, medical miracles all fascinate us but are in stark contrast to the injustices we do to each other through violence, poverty, racism and other uncivilized behavior. I often think that if I were a star traveling alien I would give this wild planet a wide berth.
