A note re. politics:
We heard a few days ago that Kamala Harris of California is "in" for the presidential race. I wrote a post way back on September 6 of 2017 giving my own personal endorsement to this up-and-coming pol. The post is on my "Morris of Course" site, and I invite you to read with this link:

My current post on "Morris of Course" is another assessment of how the sport of football has come to be impractical to continue. It's too dangerous for the boys. And the Pope is Catholic BTW. The headlines most recently have been about how the insurance industry is closing in on football, overcoming any emotions that football fans might want to feel or follow. I invite you to read my post, and thanks:

Addendum: I exchanged emails with a past Morris superintendent on football. Responding to my concern, he could have said "Brian, there's no way our school district would offer anything dangerous to students, so I won't dignify your comment with an answer." He could have said the district was proud to offer this sport as an uplifting thing - can't you see? - but instead he just said "we follow all protocalls." Change is a stubborn thing.
