10. Great Words but if the QOP Cheats and we let them then Democracy is gone with no recourse

And they ARE Cheating and trying to string it out until they can control one or both Houses of Congress.

The system cannot work if it is bypassed by Authoritarian rule. And that is exactly what is happening, individuals or not. Two Democratic Senators and the rethuglican minority led by Moscow Mitch are destroying any chance we have to be proactive in solving this matter.

Instead it is going to be political warfare next fall, and we know who has the 1% $$$$$$$$$$$, The media, and rigged polls on their side.

I'm tired of turning the other cheek.

And that is the frustrating part - that is what has be so disheartening. Over the 60 some years of my life it has happened time after time after time.

Money and Hate ALWAYS seems to win.

I am not quitting. I know what my recommended solution is but I cannot state it here as it violates site policy.

Besides I'm all out of ripe rotten tomatoes.
