vile attacks I've read on this board during the past several months are in my opinion not any different than what comes from our opposite in name only site to them, in the past I put the blame for such irrational behaviors spewing trash on trolls who's sole purpose in life seems to be well I'm not sure what they are hoping to accomplish besides popping in here then going home giving each other high fives..

But some long time Durs I have noticed are not trolls and have showed sides I wish I had not seen, it's still in my opinion one of the best forums on the net but to be honest it's fast losing steam as regulars allow themselves to be drawn into a void of from which there might not be a return...

Hillary is not perfect, she has learned how to play the game according to the rules, whether forced, coerced or threatened into that bubble, we don't know. My hope is that if she gets the power others crave she will turn the game around, she's gone through much emotionally, yes she's rich but simply because one is rich does nesscearily mean contentment..

I have to admit that if I were her, vengeance would be waning heavy on my mind .......her closeness to people I would not ever even give the time of day to makes me hesitant in fully believing she has just given up on real justice for this country, I hope I'm wrong, I hope she can ensure a powerful legacy that was truly for the people of this country and not just the country club members..

Honestly, I have not followed Sanders as I have Hillarys career in politics, some might be annoyed by this observation but I cannot get out of my head that ignorant story regardless of how long ago it was that he penned, do I believe he means what he says? Well I attempted to research Sanders, honestly besides that story, he's stayed fairly steady in his beliefs, I want to believe but I believed a lot of people through the years and time after time was left disappointed...so no, I trust no one fully...

I still hope though for the good of mankind to finally rid itself of its many flaws....

We are a self serving species after all, a bit greedy and prideful as well, perhaps all we can do is hope justice will find a way...

Bottom line I guess, I'm hopeful Clinton or Sanders won't disappoint once again, your vote matters to a degree, to what degree and to what end one can only guess at....

And like it or not, a blank vote simply one ups people like Cruz,Keish,trump, it is what it is at this time...
