92. I know you are right, and it must be an organic social need that overwhelms the populace

Mar 2012

I see the organic uprising in OWS. I personally only have one more election cycle, maybe two with luck and then it will be in the hands of younger healthier hands.

I did so want to see it, but my internal organs and Lymph nodes have other plans for me I fear.
Try to keep them positive, and keep telling the truths learned in the thirties that they would bury in history now, the kids hear mostly bullshit now days. they need older people that remember what has been tossed in the memory hole of re-written history.

I admire your positive attitude and perseverance, It's good to know there are Democrats left that still remember what it was supposed to be all about.
