ago and it was painful to do. Maybe it was liberal guilt? Anyway, it took me about four days to do.

I have a real problem with clinical depression and once in awhile I hit a wall of despair. I get to feeling so helpless and hopeless. And a cynical, pissy old lady, to boot..... Not very pretty.

I realized I had to take a sabbatical from all things political and all social injustices.

What a breadth of relief, when I go to to my email now and instead of seeing 35-50 new emails, there are usually less than six. Then I come here and get all the info I need to see without the emails. And if I see any petitions of interest posted here, I sign them. If I get emails as a result, I do unsubscribe again. But it's much easier now to do.

I wish I could donate more, but being retired and on a fixed income, it's not so easy. But I don't miss the constant solicitations for donations every day.
