At the Buddhist version of the Pearly Gates instead of appearing before the benignly-bearded St.
Peter the newly-departed have to face the fiery-red Phya Yom, the Death King. You may have thought that Buddhism was all saffron-robed monks and chanting, as far from the hellfire-and-damnation of Christianity as you could get, but even Buddha himself was pretty graphic about the lesser joys of hell in his teachings in the Devaduta Sutta. The hell-wardens lay him down and slice him with axes. Then they hold him feet up and head down and slice him with adzes.

Then they harness him to a chariot and drive him back and forth over ground that is burning, blazing, and glowing. Then they make him climb up and down a vast mountain of embers that is burning, blazing, and glowing. Then they hold him feet up and head down and plunge him into a red-hot copper cauldron… and as he is boiling there with bubbles foaming … he feels painful, racking, piercing feelings.
I notice that some of the devils have red light bulb for eyes.

I glance into a bamboo hut and through the glow I see montage of a woman giving birth, the whole graphic scene being very carefully spot-lit. It also seems to be the place to store severed heads, old brooms and empty paint pots.

Or that he says he 'loves war'? He wants to want to Make America Great Again.
What form will the greatness take in the midst of such chaos? Donald Trump is encouraging America to pave the road to our own destruction. By embracing the angry, violent and xenophobic attitudes he encourages at his rallies, we forsake the higher values --faith in the future, personal responsibility, empathy for others and creative problem-solving-- that would enable us to create jobs at home and work with our allies.
Our political discourse has instead devolved into a morass of greed, self-aggrandizement, self-loathing and entitlement. The white, working class American men who support Trump? His policies will leave them high and dry as well.

At first I didn't want to seem too 'political'. I was like one of those wishy-washy souls at the Dantean vestibule. I have, in the last year, seen too many people accept Trumpism as a kind of religion and embrace The Donald as a strong man savior to remain silent. So many seem all too eager to dismiss his verbal barbarity and innuendo as long as it is directed at 'others' who do not look like them, or worship as they do, or speak the same language as long as their standard of living does not change.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up. While Hillary Clinton is not a flawless candidate, I am very much looking forward to voting for her on November 8th. Her extensive experience on the world stage, coupled with her controlled temperament Did you see how she kept her composure during those debates? I am not voting for Hillary simply because she is a woman, but because I believe she possesses the preparation, commitment and judgment necessary to make difficult decisions at home and abroad and to command respect on the world stage. In the deeply red area where I live, my views are unpopular, to say the least.

There is still a latent and not-so-latent misogyny in America. I feel the sideways looks and eye-rolls when I talk about politics; partly, I know, because of my gender. I am surrounded by people proudly wearing 'Life's A Bitch: Don't Vote For One" t-shirts at my local fair. We're all aware of the verbal encouragement extended to little girls--you can be anything you want to be! Many women still bear the lion's share of childcare, eldercare and housework, often with little support or acknowledgment.
Women receive 80 cents for every dollar a man receives for comparable work. We are often expected to brush off sexual harassment with a smile, to know that the person doing it is 'only kidding'.
