Side note by one living the surreal: about those with no heart to feel!
In reading remarks on the Dennis Rodman Korean thread, I'm brought back to the days at DK and my 1st jumping on the Trayvon Martin Petition (when it was only at 25k and the ask me to help get it going). Had worked on the former Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Convertino's case, the Troy Davis case (with World Class help coming to the fray) and Cameron Todd Willingham's saga (that makes me heart & eyes swell even now).
In all those cases (and admittedly - even my Romney debacle), familiarity breeds contempt and people with no heart tend to nix human compassion and grind it to the bone/away.
It makes me so glad I'm mortal.....
What is it that makes people be petty? How can it be that human day to day living is so worthless that the heartless can so easily subdue the compassionate? Do people, as a whole, really want morality tales any more;
or would we all rather see Mitt get away with stealing the Social Security fund?

This realm has one of the best systems for monitoring trolls and such; but - as is the reality in the anon realms boundless - can do little else, but let reality take its course - when the mean take over the scene.
Each time I pray (and not often enough), I pray, in the beginning, for G-d to soften the hearts of my enemies toward goodness. Undoubtedly its a slim - if none - chance; but there has to be the hope for it. If I, one who has lost everything (more than once) - can be told by others (after all I've gone through) - that I look 10 years younger than my age: it is solely due to my desire and adoration for the good in life.
When I see the cat take on a dog, nearly 3 times its size, in defense of a bitten child - or see a good cop put boots on a homeless man's feet; I'm the one sap who weeps.
Because I want the good that's in all of U.S.

If you're having a bad day, it can't possibly make you feel better, by being mean spirited to someone else.
PLEASE, for the sake of Love, G-d and the hope of humanity: do as my sig line requests. Try, even if only once a day, week, month (or if life sucks that much) - a year: to do what you can to change the world for the better
by doing something nice for another!
Think of how great it is - when you get an uninvited act of kindness (even just a hug or cup of coffee) - unexpectedly.
