I still see the TPP as a significant threat to our rights

31. Same here.

I fear the TPP is a Done Deal, and will be signed quickly after Hillary sits in the Oval Office.

I inherited the Party of FDR/JFK from my parents, and did my best to stay true to those values and those of the Great Society, and will until the day I die.
I am ashamed of the World, and what passes for the Democratic (Workers) Party we are leaving to our children.

When we move out here in 2006, I swore off DU, but couldn't quit. The addiction was stronger than I thought. It will be easy to leave now. There are only a small handful of posters I respect, you among them.

I'm tired, frustrated, and getting too old to care what the others say.
It likely now that this is the 4th year in a row for drought and record HEAT.
We had no Winter this year, and that really screwed up the fruit trees, and the planting calendar is not worth anything now. Many locals who regularly grow large veggie gardens have given up on this year. Ever positive, my wife and I are going to try to make it work for us by radically modifying the planting calendar.

It is getting harder to keep up with this place, especially with the heat.
If this is the New Normal, then we are all fucked....sooner rather than later.

It sometimes seems as if the World is hurtling to some dramatic, climactic conclusion.
I hope I'm not here to see it.
