17. Yes, I saw that one and it presaged the ruling today. It's interesting our minds seek the same...

Thoughts? Feelings? Spirit? And then we are drawn to certain things all at the same thing, it appears. I'd seen the link in your signature before, but hadn't clicked it. I wasn't sure it was about you or politics, but something told me to go there today and I am glad I did.

The piece you wrote called earlier this year, 'I Wish To Inform You That I Am Being Held Hostage,' may be more personal than you would want to post, but I wish you would put it in one of the main forums.

DU seems to be in 'Look, Shiny!' mode consistently from following the media scandal du jour, and not tending to the things that are hurting millions of people. There are some serious things going on in all 50 states, and they are being ignored. At a website that is about activism.

We need to steer the focus back, not allow the Koch brothers media with their literal version of 'corporations are people' and 'money equals speech' in media prevail over reality.

We are literally talking to their dollars in the media, and they have a millions of more words than we ever will have, at that rate.

Obama did not create this increasing, and it will increase geometrically, dissolution of the country that the Koch brothers want to see. They want it so they can buy it up wholesale and continue to be wealthy beyond the dreams of anyone on the planet with their immoral 'Masters of the Universe' game.

Those in Congress who are responsible, are deliberately ignoring, if not rejoicing, at the pain they knew the Sequester would cause. They are arrogantly passing bills on women's bodies, trying to strip help from those who are in need, as your article plainly states.

They are in the game Rand Paul is playing, using magical thinking processes. They tell their followers if America gets all the way back to the days of the Old Testament, God will forgive all the sins they commit daily against those they can oppress, starve and deny their humanity.

They are excellent orators, spewing a lot of words you describe, in your article called, 'I’m Not Giving Up My Seat Sir.' Isn't it something that this comes up today?

Please post both in GD or here in the BOG, where we still believe in human rights.

Thanks for the reply and hope that things are goign well with you. (I used to juice and have to get back to it. again.) See you later.
