  Thanksgiving dinner photo (c)2020 by Kathryn Darden 2020--it was the year that promised to give us all clearer vision. Maybe it did. We have seen our media, election process and political systems for the shams they are, and seen through the politics of social media. 2020 has certainly opened our eyes about many things. Beyond that we have had a pandemic to cope with, BLM/Antifa riots, some police departments shut down, as well some cities, not to mention business that could not withstand the ravages of a pandemic and riots.
