it appears many see the truth but have grown so accustomed to ignoring it, it doesn't phase them anymore. The game continues, and no Bernie won't attack her because he is trying to run this race as a gentleman something that is tantamount to taking a knife to a gun fight.

That video ought to wake the dead.

I know what you mean about giving up. But you know, I actually shed a tear when Nancy Reagan just died. Maybe it was because she has an awesome son, an maybe because it ended an era. I hated her. I hated what they stood for. I spent a lot of energy in hopelessness as the country watched shows like COPS. What the hell... So now we're at least talking about real issues. As hopeless as I've felt, this is pretty uplifting, because it's a movement, not an election. There are still going to be the websites in place after this is over. There are going to be new members in Congress.

In regards to Nancy Reagan, I can only say rest in peace and I hope you were not a part of the havoc your husband wreaked on this country. As for congress, the continuation of websites etc., most will go back to watching reality shows and suffering without realizing why as it has been for decades now in this country. If either of the two front runners win, the new members in Congress won't make much difference IMHO.
