There are so many other things they could have put in that speech balloon. SHEESH...
They sure love their crooks down there, don't they?
No wonder the good guys can't get a decent break there (or at least that's how it seems, to this outside observer).
Me, too.
People can be so damn cruel to animals. And yet animals give us so much that's good and helpful and emotionally sustaining.
Unless it was meant to be in the past tense, perhaps?
It's possible to see the logic behind both options.
Welcome to DU, beemer27!
Glad you're here! Very nice for me, here (on a brief personal note), because I get to welcome you - AND kick a really wonderful and MOST welcome thread!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Wow, Scuba, thanks for sharing all that. WUNNNNNderful photos! That "easy stroll" one at the end is just THE BEST!!!! Really takes you down that path... (I feel like I wanna go HIDE there for the next month or so! After mailing in my absentee ballot, that is...)
Read the Powell Memo.
It's how they did it. They were willing to put several decades into changing the nation and the culture more toward what THEY wanted it to be. And here's how. While OUR team slept. Or looked at clouds. Or something...

There's a four-letter-word solution if we all would just TAKE IT!!!!
VOTE!
VOTE, DAMMIT!!!!
And do your damnedest to make sure everyone you know gets up and goes out to VOTE, too! WE WILL WIN - IF WE VOTE. Because the sheer numbers are on OUR side. If only OUR side would turn out! And VOTE!!!!
And they're dominating the airwaves.
I woke up this morning to the on-going yakkity-yak about how many more ads are running in the battleground states for the bad guys.
Then I checked my email and saw Seth Godin blog -
You're right, they're wrong, but they won
Why is that? Is the world so unfair?
Actually, it might be because the other guys took the time and invested the effort to build a movement. They showed up, every time, again and again. They never contemplated that they might lose, even though they're wrong, sub-par or not as good as you are. Their operating system, corporate structure, political ideas or economic approach won.
Perhaps they told a story that resonated, one that resonated not with the better angels of our nature, but with our urgent desires. And most probably, they built a tribe, not one in their image, but in the image (and dreams) of those that wanted to belong.
But mostly, it's because they were prepared to spend a decade (or two or three) to change the culture of their part of the world in the direction that mattered to them.
"... they were prepared to spend a decade (or two or three) to change the culture of their part of the world in the direction that mattered to them."
Made me think of the Powell Memo:

The bad guys, with the koch brothers helping and pushing and funding, have spent AT LEAST three decades pushing to change what they didn't like.
Have we????????
And the other thing that really burns, for me, is that there are those who will point at this
and say - "SEE? A woman can't cut it ..." "SEE? You put a woman in charge and ... "
You KNOW they're out there, Cha. The bad guys will seize on ANYTHING to take us down, as Dems, as women, as liberals, you name it.
