It's the sound of nothing. No election calls, polls, ugly ads, people calling each other names.

(46,745 posts)I had two business suited men come knocking on the door this morning. Ties, starched shirts and clipboards. Yes, they could have been Jehovah Witnesses, or, they could have been members of the new Republican retraining team.
I sent them away without finding out. Still had pillow hair.

If they ever got what they wished for, it would all crumble around them.
They want to turn the US into a polluted China or India, without standards of living or clean air water, or upward mobility.
This species has no chance, and this planet has no chance, if we don't start to curtail our greed and hostility.

I have been enjoying Fox News for once and consider it my comedy hour.
