The marginalization of "The Left" through the years. Not hearing us now at all.

36. The Serenity Canard again always holds true, corny as it is

grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.


and btw, 3000 people died on 9-11.
ALL the firemen and the cops were AMERICAN UNION members. ALL OF THEM.

Have the wisdom to know that you are never going to stop wars.
They have happened since the Big Bang, and they will happen centuries from now.
The wars may be different then than they are now, then they were in the past.
But they will happen.

with acceptance of that wisdom, ignore all the war stuff and focus on that which one
can change.

And accept that 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

And that the USA was built on compromise in all forms, and wishing for 100% is nice, but it ain't gonna happen.

1977-1978-first part of 1979 were as close as it could get to perfect happiness and times.
And like JVL in NYC was crucified for what he did in future years and tossed in the river, Jimmy Carter in the nation will NOT happen that way again. So many democratic people did not like him, let alone those on the other side.
What a damn shame it was.

But in that knowledge of knowing Jimmy Carter could not return as Jimmy Carter, he brought to us, Barack Obama, and this time Carter and Kennedy were on the same side.
Selling President Obama down the river, well, how did Ronald Reagan do for those in 1980 when his term caused 1 million and more to die from AIDS because he did nothing, and started wars, and gave us 41(who for all intent and purpose was President for 7 of the 8 reagan years anyhow, much like Cheney was during W's term).(and Cheney was created by Bush in the first place, not vice versa).

So, well, the stupid corny serenity canard.

Don't rail against the system, change the parts that can be better.

Things get a little easier once you understand.

But you are of course free to do as you choose.

BTW, read up on Mayor John V. Lindsay. And remember one tid-bit- JVL got MORE primary votes in the few 1972 primaries he ran in, then eventual nominee George McGovern.
Little remembered fact.

And read up-he was the #1 populist, union person.
read up on what happened to his great name after that.(if you don't already know).
