Why me...why me!!!!!!!    >:(

Why not?

And what, exactly?

Just some stuff that has accumulated and is giving me a bad case of over thinking.  Fortunately, some of it is easing and in 2 weeks we go to Florida...Tampa/St.Pete, which fortunately dodged the hurricane bullet.  Somedays I get to feeling sorry for myself to the point  :GA: :bigcry: and now I am slowly letting go of the things I have no control over!

Can't think of anything. :P

Republicans have changed their stripes dramatically since the '50s!

It was General/President Eisenhower, a renowned Republican of old, who offered the concept that if we tax the most wealthy at the highest rates, that will lead to the largest, most profitable corporations and individual entities investing more into research and development moving industry forward, increased wages for the workers to help in escaping tax burdens, greater charitable donations to non profit organizations including housing for the less capable, medical and health resources advanced, parks and wildlife services fully funded, and in general, Taxing will keep that money right here at home working to move our nation forward.

(I have paraphrased)
Hardly a Globalist, but there is some wisdom there!

A quote referring to the Mid Term elections during his presidency:

 "I have just one purpose ... and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it ... before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won't be with them anymore."

What the fuck happened?

I want our Old Replublicans back!

Show me an Eisenhower to vote FOR, instead of a thousand horror ridden communists who are now free to fuck up this country even more than it already is!

Show me someone to vote FOR, instead of AGAINST!

Check the differences in income tax averages for the very upper wealthy from the '50s compared to current times.
It is no wonder why the BIG money is being exported, all the while we are in debt up to our great, great grandchildren's eyeballs.


Not 100% sure the current reflects accuracy, but the trend is obvious.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Today's Republicans are of little value to anyone. There was a time when I thought they would at least respect the principles of democracy and your constitution, but it's been quite a while since. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Personally I think you have some catch-up to do with the EU. The union is far from perfect but the differences within the union are far less than the divide in the US.

That Divide that many do not even want to admit to, is something that we all need to talk about and work through.

I don't have any answers, just fears for our future.

Today's Republicans are the opposite of some I have admired from the past. Again, no one to vote FOR.

Why do the words "No one likes you" feel like a frontal stab to the chest?

If this truck was cruising the neighborhood, playing some jazz or blues like an ice cream truck, I buy some Labatt's beer.

Here's hoping it'll get better.

Because if it's true, you'd feel bloody awful.

I like you, Genesis. :hug:
