I just wish that we would go ahead and totally implode so that we might have a chance to change things.

On the state level with abortion rights, the Congressional vote that passed which eliminated food stamps, the information leaked about the extent of surveillance our government is perpetuating against us and the persecution of whistleblowers like Manning, Snowden etc.---just one thing after another. It is very despiriting and we are renewing our passports. The Phantasm of American Phreedom....

the jury asked about manslaughter was that they thought they could not find him guilty if the sentence was 30 years in prison therefore they would find him not guilty. That jury obviously was not listening to the facts of the case. A young man was shot to death by Zimmerman. What was it about that fact didn't they understand?
