7. amazing how hostile I am feeling too.
Hard to not counter violence with violence, hard to let it be. By the way, this is a kick for votes.

15. That should be repeated.

Without fair elections, the 'voice' of the people can only be silenced with consent - or cowardice. No mattr what we call it, it's a choice! Once upon a time, we patted ourselves on the back and claimed the choice ("Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!") was clear for a free people.

"Land of the Free" and "Home of the Brave" are inseperable. Without courage, there is no liberty. In the Land Ruled by Fear, dictators reign.

5. Can we use "bleeping" instead of that other word?
I'm not trying to be profanity police , it would be nice if posters used an expanded lexicon to post and it would be fun too. Think of the folks diving for dictionaries! The F word is so basic and limiting. (Don't make fun of me, I just hate profanity. It's just me, go on about your posts, nevermind!)

8. LOL.
I'm not laughing at you. Your posts were so timid, I'm just laughing because I thought they were cute. You have just as much of a right to your bleeping opinions as everyone else here. And you have a valid opinion too, IMO. Not that anyone will stop using the F word, but I for one will try to keep what you said in mind and remember that sometimes vulgar words can turn people off and they lose the message in the delivery.

11. I took a supreme mastery of will not to flip off the woman with the "Jon
Kyle" bumpersticker on her car. I've definitely got some pent up hatred for all those who've put us in this position.

12. Because we don't have the franchise, we shouldn't blame the people.
We have to keep this in mind: we can't be just generally angry at the American people. They're trying their damnedest to get the criminals out of office. They never put them in in the first place.

The leaders deserve the blame if anybody, and they deserve it not just for their pusillanimity and spinelessness, but for their unwillingness to investigate the facts, which are so obvious the pols can't make a move without bumping into another one wherever they go nowadays. Their closets are full of glitched elections, voting machine pajama parties, whistleblowers, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not sure how well I'd do if I were in a position where I could make a difference. I'd like to think I would at least assess the problem correctly like Lou Dobbs and RFK Jr. and make a noise. But how these guys in Congress can just continue to bloviate when we don't have a democracy anymore by any definition would just be hilarious if it weren't so serious. When the vote is counted by private corps in total secrecy without a hint of verification, this defines something but it doesn't define a democracy.

But we have to quit blaming the American people.
