I wish I could recommend this a MILLION times.

And yes, it’s just more marketing. But if that’s the prevailing currency of now, then let’s get as much of it as we can!

“Primal” IS the word.

Hopefully they'll go beyond just being pissed off.

And vote a LOT smarter next time (like NOT for trump).

Anyone who still supports this monster after everything we’ve seen and heard and read - for such folks, I’m afraid I have dwindling supplies of sympathy and understanding.




Reminds me of the old joke - I went to the doctor and showed him my problem and said “it hurts when I do that” and the doctor said “well, don’t do that.”

I'm not Jewish, and I cannot empathize. At least not completely.

I don’t know that much about Jewish traditions or have intimate knowledge of that heritage across the ages of the Jewish community, other than learning from books and history and friends who are Jewish. Strictly an outsider, though, as a lifelong Catholic. But I sure can sympathize.

Even a mere glancing study of the human condition over enables me to sympathize. Even a general understanding of the sacredness and anguish through history that underlies - that, too, helps me to sympathize.

This is one of those situations in which all I can ask - is “why?”

Seriously. Why?

Why must we hate?

Why?

Makes me think of Ken Lay, too.

He beat the rap by dying before having to face some pretty loud music in the Enron scandal. When I heard that he had died, I said the exact same thing: “gee, how convenient.”

"...Quiet as a serpent..."

So lyrical.

I’m in awe, my friend.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
