haven't quite gotten to belief myself, but I do actually feel hopeful with belief out there on the horizon.

And you better believe I'm reaching out for it with both hands.

don't get money out of politics and create publically financed elections like Bernie says, this system will continue with the people losing more ground until they're worn down into nothing, like the environment.

At the end of the Roman Empire, leadership just passed between the same three corrupt families I've heard Chris Hedges say. Fooey to that! Let's get this peaceful political revolution rolling, as we celebrate our upcoming Independence Day. This country was born in revolution, against the tyranny of the mighty British Empire, people forget.

Here's to Sen. Bernie Sanders, our Founders and We the People! And to 'this great country' as Bernie said last night in Madison, WI.

I had pretty much resigned myself that we were at the end of this country. I didn't see that there was anyway out. Then Bernie threw his hat in the ring and, suddenly, there was hope!

... I've met him a few times, and have spoken with him on VPR several times, and he's provided assistance to the veteran son of one of my neighbors (a Republican!) at my request, so he'll always be MY man to me! And God help anyone who disses him in my presence.

Listening to logic and reason? Believing in science and empirical evidence? Heretics! Unclean!

I desperately hope the tide is turning, finally. You can only poke something with a stick so long.

If you want to give lessons in cruelty to people or animals, don't be surprised if they learn them.
