How easily we join in the mockin' chorus even when our own experience tells us a different story. How we ignore that fuckin' stab of conscience, that whisper that says, "This ain't right." We do it to belong, to seem worldly, to avoid confrontin' our own insecurities.... - Jorlis...

LOVED reading "Both candidates are too fucking old to be president. One is a crazy and too old....

I personally can’t get behind claims that both dems and republicans make that a vote for the other party is the "end of democracy".... I don't appreciate the black and white thinking of this post. It feels quite acusatory to those who don't have kids, as if the only reason is consumerism and comfort (which you seem to identify as the same thing).... - MossyMoni...
Such a beautifully sad post .. and so accurate. When I go outside the silence of the blanketed snow just contrast with the noise of what's going on in this country. I definitely affects my mindset in so many ways.... - candyISdandy...
I would convince the elite that life on Mars is sustainable, and grant them all VIP vouchers to the first rocket ships to colonize Mars.... Then I would start the journey to protecting and correcting mother nature, back to its uncolonized pre industrialized state.... - Sassiebrat67...
