I must bow...for us all....

I've been depressed about the whole political process lately, so I haven't been posting much these days....

But then today, I watched the Senate and caught Byrd.

Look at the posts.

We ALL here are a part of a whole. Socialism? Nah. COMMUNITY.

We all have our high times and low times, and our side sometimes loses and sometimes it wins.

But WE ARE THE UNDERGROUND.

It doesn't take much to be a part of the group. Be an asshole and post your thoughts...you'll probably be welcomed if it is in the right forum. ;-)

Hang in there, khephra. You are young and strong; we need you to stay in the fight. Hope you are feeling better about things.

We are all ripples on the pond water. Get enough of us togethers and we make waves. The waves work hard enough and the landscape changes. This I have come to appreciate in my many years.

5. Byrd was so passionate

He expressed the pain of being ignored that we all
are feeling right now and with each new death.

I hope someone caught it and will get an mp3 of it up.

the passion could only be heard , it was amazing .

9. I know how you feel.

I think I've been battling a depression over the political/environmental situation as dumb as it sounds.

I have been reading some writing by Noam Chomsky and am beginning to realize that these things have been going on for a long time.

Not to depress you but to open your eyes to reality, read this if you haven't already....

But especially read that last part about what to do and how to make a difference. It's all we can do.
