6. WOW !! You did this?? Good work.

here's the funny thing.

I could have told anybody this.. well, sort, of,, not with the details and EVIDENCE you did.. but just my gut..
We just sit here whining..., bitching HILLARY WON FUCK BERNIE, and BERNIE WOULD HAVE WON, Hillary is a loser, blah blah.......and, as you say gawking at the crash on the road.. ME TOO.., well #1 and 3, anyway...

And then we go about our daily business...

But, I have also, started trying to see what small steps I can take.. I email and call my reps.. Schumer and Gillibrand, and Unfortunately Chris 'Asshole" Collins.

I also sign petitions.. eh.. not much eh... give a few $$ here and there.....

While we tend to think DU is this famous nationwide influence, it's really just a bunch of people working with 0's and 1's.... sort of.

But we COULD be something of a force if we wanted to..
I am not good at that, at organizing, and have no experience in PR or politics.. but...there must be MANY here who are...
..........................

OK, back to Mozart for now... I have to choose between K 306, K 380, K 454 for a friend's violin recital.. I just eliminated K 526.. Forgive me Wolfie...

See what I mean?
