77. I am happy and relieved as well

Hello freshwest,

My post above was born of cynicism from seeing everything politicized over the last 12 years or so to the point that we can never be sure to hear all the facts - especially when it's more expedient to control the facts using the corporate media. (Learned how that works from Bush and the neocons who managed to change the entire political ethos of this country through the cowed and payed-off news industry).

I'm not a conspiracy guy. In fact, I don't even keep up on the latest CTs. I just let them filter down to social media and make note of the endless partisan ranting that ensures Americans remain unable to embrace united, informed political influence. I find CT memes pretty tedious and predictable, actually.

I also remember the iron boot that was brought down in a coordinated effort to successfully suppress the nationwide voice of the occupy movement - so I wasn't confident the Boston Police Dept. would be counseled by DHS to do the right thing seeing how this "War on Terror" is ongoing and a real cash cow for the corporations and investors involved.

Also, thanks for the encouraging viewpoint on the possibility of a fair trial in Boston. Consider me now very cautiously optimistic.

Anyway, I've been on DU since 2004. Used to post under a different name but changed it when they had that user-id amnesty thing back in DU2 (or was it DU1?).

I don't post much anymore because the Democratic party doesn't fight the hard fight for the democratic principles I grew up believing in. Now it's all about negotiating money deals and throwing a bone or two to things like gay rights which is an obvious no brainer for the entire world and doesn't effect the bottom line of their otherwise neo-liberal politics.

All this by way of introducing myself and saying I'm familiar with your posts here on DU and have always valued your point of view. Thanks.
