In reply to the discussion: hate to break it to you,but the TPP has been a done deal for years now [View all]FairWinds
(1,717 posts)35. Hey Mr. Backwoods . .
that is a totally fine answer - I mistakenly took you for
one of those people who do not walk the walk while going
on an on about what everyone else should be doing.
There are lots of them out there.
Here is a bit of advice from an old lefty - take time to smell the roses and
do some recreation. It will help you avoid burn-out and do wonders for
your relationships.
And remember, in the long run, they can only win if we give up.
Keep on keepin' on.
And . . if you're really frustrated, you're doing something wrong.
Your job is to get centered, be at peace, take effective action, and
MAKE THE OTHER SIDE FRUSTRATED.
