8. auburngrad82, if I had the power, I would see that no one else in the
world ever again suffered from the disaster that Bush & Co. have brought to far too many of us. And please, don't think these are empty words. If I could wave a magic wand, or if I had just one wish, it would be to cure all human misery.

Bill Clinton often said, "I feel your pain." He was a good politician, and maybe he really did "feel our pain." But, at the risk of sounding like some phony son-of-a-bitch, I really do hear and ache for you, your wife and family, and what are going through.

It seems that every day of my life, I get more cynical about what our country is really about. I grew up in an era when the government helped those who needed help. And it seems that we now have a government which tells us all to "take care of yourself or die."

This seems to be a purely Republican world view, but let's see what happens when the Dems finally take over. I, for one, am not holding my breath for "great" things.

Unfortunately, none of these words help you or your wife.

Damn it to hell. There's never a magic wand around when you need one.
