considerations

 

 

It’s not what you feel --

it’s what you communicate.

 

 

 

Legislating can be extremely difficult.

Do you remember the twists and turns

for Obamacare?  The opposition is wily

and happy to be dishonest for the cause.

Complaining is so very easy.  How about

getting out and getting people together

around doing the gritty work persistently,

working with the reps who are doing

what they can within their limitations,

getting what we need

 

 

 

it's not about the money

the point is to keep the Dems from

making the progress they promised

and the people want so no one will

want to vote for them in '22, when exactly

what is needed to get all those promises

fulfilled is to vote in more progressive Dems

in '22 so we won't need to sweat the

filibuster or "moderates"

 

 

 

no, the defeat in Virginia is not about

the '22 Dems. Why is no one saying the obvious?

Look at the two men running for VA Governor.

Based only on appearance, who would you vote for?

Most voters don't look beyond the obvious.

 

 

 

Speaking against “x people” wholesale,

speaking for or against all of any people,

is stupidly lazy.  It’s not just

“not all x” but not most x.

Most people are not bothering or

benefiting, do not have the time,

energy or interest to care enough to

act about anything beyond our own lives.

Adam Smith and Karl Marx theorized about economic systems

to benefit humanity.

It's not their systems that were evil,

but the people who adapted them.

 

 

 

When confronted by displeasing idiots

(or displeasing others) you have the

option of ignoring them.  If that becomes

too uncomfortable, respond in the most

pleasant way you can find.

 

 

 

Uncomfortable in our natural skin.

Uncaring, unloving of our Mother home,

tether to true life.

How have we sold our animal souls

for sparkle and fizz,

in fright of what is,

what might turn out to be?

We dissipate into meaningless games,

played as if they could sustain.
