The Ultimate Injustice: Leaving This Life Which Is No Longer Anymore A Life
"Do whatever you wish to do, the issue is over.
I am happy to express from this darkness and draw a true picture of the condition in which I exist. I am moving towards a dark cave and a dark life in the shadow of a dark prison. This is a prison that does not know humanity, and does not know [anything] except the language of power, oppression and humiliation for whoever enters it. It does not differentiate between a criminal and the innocent, and between the right of the sick or the elderly who is weak and is unable to bear and a man who is still bearing all this from the prison administration that is evil in mercy.
Hardship is the only language that is used here. Anybody who is able to die will be able to achieve happiness for himself, he has no other hope except that. The requirement is to announce the end, and challenge the self love for life and the soul that insists to end it all and leave this life which is no longer anymore called a life, instead it itself has become death and renewable torture. Ending it is a mercy and happiness for this soul.

Later I was looking through a catalog with political tee shirts & saw one that read, "I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize." I will vote for this president because R will do worse. I don't know what else to do in a two party system. Also, I am in a swing state.
We need a Congress that isn't made up of millionaires. We must get money out of politics, but short of a total collapse, I don't know how. Everyone who can get it out, benefits from having it in.

Last time, the GOPers just said, "Well, I guess the exit polls were wrong for a change."
