You certainly talk big on this forum, but what have you done in the real world to bring about change?  I’m not asking as a put down.  I know that you have big load to carry just in your own life.

But I have a problem with people who denigrate those who are doing the hard work to make change happen.  When your efforts match his, then you can be…[Read more]

those who would hold power by whatever needs necessary.

on this forum blaming Bernie for not being able to get it done.  He NEVER said that HE could.  He said WE could.  Unfortunately, the WE in this case have failed.  He is using his position as a bully pulpit to urge us onward.

If “his urgings seem rather hollow at this point” it is not because he has not/is not doing his part.  It is because the…[Read more]

My B-I-L was slated to have some procedure or another done and had to have a Covid 19 test.  He wasn’t worried because he had been careful and had no symptoms.  He tested positive.  He ened his quarantine a couple of days ago completely without ever having had one symptom.  His wife and father, who haven’t been tested, come out of quarantine in…[Read more]

someone posted that s/he had been talking with some young soldiers who said, that if ordered, they would fire into a crowd of unarmed civilian US citizens.

So, I was talking to some high school ROTC students one day and I put the question to them.  There were two boys and one girl.  “If ordered, even though it is illegal, would you fire into an u…[Read more]

A massive PR campaign.  If you are a Boomer, you will remember Officer Friendly.  He used to come around to our schools  exuding bonhomie, friendliness, and trustworthiness.  We were told to ask a policeman for help.

And the campaign very quickly understood, and utilized to the maximum, the potential of television.  Remember?  Adam Twelve, Car 5…[Read more]

Was breaking store windows to incite looting and violence while a person of color tried to stop him.
Isolated incidents?  I doubt it highly.

The Coke/Pepsi toon…  I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been told to “grow up” and that it is the fault of the “third choice voters” who gave us Trump…

Very noisy.  When they are gone, the quiet is almost deafening…  Or perhaps we were deafened by the cicadas and have to heal and relearn how to hear again.

But I don’t remember them being so messy…  Maybe we have fewer of them…

They should be protesting the federal government for not passing legislation that would place a giant safety net at the bottom of the fall zone rather than at the bottom of the one or ten percent.

Public health is VERY important.  There is no reason that those trillions of dollars of relief bills that passed could not have gone to make sure that…[Read more]

Because Dore has been ragging on Bernie for quite a while now…

I don’t know how long because I stopped watching anything he put out some time ago.  But it was before Bernie suspended his campaign.

Dore’s just noise which distracts.

Thank you for sharing.  I need this today.

has some leverage at the convention.

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings, and while I don’t hold out much hope for a good outcome, we live in interesting times and the future isn’t written in stone until it happens.

Plus, I happen to agree with Yang, Bernie, and the judge:  canceling the primary would be unconstitutional and would also deny…[Read more]

back, support, and keep them out of prison where they belong.  The Bundys are idiots, but they are useful tools to some anti-government types whose agenda I don’t quite understand.
