Storm Troopers

Do the words "Storm Troopers" ring any bells?? Now a far greater danger is rising in our country.....no, it is not the GOP...it is the lunatics who would take over the asylum.....they are the ones who do not believe in the democratic process but instead embrace the policies of fear and intimidation, who advocate overthrowing the government by criminal acts. Based on half-truths and utter lies they are conning the gullible and naive into civil disobedience......it reminds me of prewar Nazi Gernany and of what followed. Are we going to sit passively by while this happens??!

Where is Civility?

What the hell has happened to this country? Not only has common sense fallen by the wayside but civility has met its demise and we are all the worse for it.. Children in Middle School tell their teacher to "F___ off" without fear of reprimand, members of Congress shout insults to each other like kids on a playground and grown up(?)people throw bricks through the windows of those with whom they disagree! there is a vast difference between freedom of speech and hate mongering and incitement to violence.

A Ray of Hope

A few days ago I was about to give up and call this exercise quits.... but then Congress finally got something done and a ray of hope is now showing on the horizon. The Health Care Bill that is now, after more than fifty years, is in effect....it is far from ideal and needs a lot of adjustment but at least it is a step in the right direction....and for that I am grateful and encouraged.Maybe that "Change we believed in" is now on its way!
