...I've seen the nation change completely from a place where every human life was valued to a country where money trumps peace. From the murder of JFK in Dallas through the wars without end for profit and welfare for banksters and the wealthy, the slide has been steady and unrelenting.

Some live and love and work to stop the slide and turn the tide. Thank you for being one of them, Solly Mack! With enough ripples, it will turn.
