15. I heard about that, but didn't hear her speak on it....

She mostly spoke about the crooked banks and the sleazy things that are in the fine print on loans and mortgages, and that the "bankrupt" corporations that we bailed out in 2008 now are wealthier than they ever were.....

I wholeheartedly agree about Gaza, but my wish is to get rid of Netanyehu and Hamas. Both sides need a new government that's willing to compromise....Gaza has a decent government that's willing to deal, but their simple demands are not being met, so they are liking Hamas only because Hamas stands up to the Israelies....

As far as I am concerned, the contributions going to our politicians are responsible for all the gizmos that we give Israel, and those monies come from the record profits of corporations....cutting profits would cut contributions....and the politicians don't dare criticize anything Israel does. This might be more of a pocketbook issue than most folks believe. But nobody has the courage to do anything to cut those outrageous profits other than Warren...

But what worries me most, are you "mad" at me? Gees I hope not.
