In an effort to distract for a moment away from all of this political talk, I thought I'd share some things about myself. So, I decided to share from a category I'm sure we all can relate to: fears. And I mean legitimate fears, things that unnerve you, make you feel dread, or possibly cause a minor panic attack.
Why? Because it can be fun to talk about our fears, despite how much we may dread them.
I never really had TOP withdrawal, and I've never looked back there. This site has filled part of the void and served parts of their function for me - most importantly as an occasional outlet for writing about (mostly political) stuff bouncing around in my head, but more generally a place to find common ground with fellow travelers, even though we may disagree on details. Whether I'm writing and participating in discussions, or just reading, I like the level of the discourse.
I started writing this as we awaited the joint Bernie-Shillary 'rally' in NH on 7/12….torn between posting it this very evening before, or waiting until just after the ...Event.

That's because I've researched her and I haven't really listened much at all to Trump's media show, not having a television and not tuning in to Corporate Media.
For 20 years the UK has spent an average of .65% of GDP on infrastructure leading to an infrastructure rating sightly worse than the US.

We participate on this site and others. We understand the value of Bernie Sanders or OWS. We understand that "the Economy" isn't something that just happens, but that it's a result of deliberate government policies. We see the blatant corruption of the dem party. We know that trump is a vacuous buffoon. We know who paul ryan and mitch mcturtell and Merrick Garland and rahm immanuel are.

Black and White Goes Together Beautifully!
Our animal world stands the hoomin world on its head. So since things have been a little tense between some blacks and some whites lately, we've been feeling some nostalgia for blacks and whites getting along. Enjoy!
There was a very interesting document leak over the weekend, and it casts a whole new light over America's strategy in Libya.
