We have been lied to, cheated, and betrayed by ruthless, wealthy criminals here and abroad. [View all]

At times, for myself, these wrongs were self inflicted though.
I lied to myself when I let Pollyanna lend me her glasses; I cheated myself by satiating my hunger for information in places where I knew I would like the menu. I ignored my natural inclination to be wary, a betrayal of self.

Time to return to the grassroots and reflect for a bit.
We won’t be saved by :good people at the top; we had the very best, we had the most dough, and we had the best campaign minds.

Me, I’m gonna live the best life I can with those i love, according to our values.
I’ll watch out for, and support, the new goodness which will surely sprout in the mountains of bullshit recently strewn across all our lands.

Peace and good health to all.
May we be happy, joyous, and free.
