They said wow, and let me go but first they gave me a suicide robe, which is very cool. Actually, a breeze blew on my hindquarters. On a hot day? Interesting. Peace, love, and no ability to see the past or path. Me? I like Barry McGuire and my 40th high school reunion that no one wants. Me? Just need to breathe and continue to do so. Thanks.

Its nice to read an article on this particular subject matter at this particular time in the political season that doesn't trash one side or the other and presents a fair and honest assessment.

My hope is that we have a serious discussion of the issues in addition to the name calling and other less pleasant aspects of the election.<br /><br />Still, the Democratic convention had a very important moment: the nomination of a woman as the presidential nominee of a major party.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295297961169603838.post-88328245251457678322016-07-31T09:23:39.231-07:002016-07-31T09:23:39.231-07:00I just sent through 10 years of having a self proc...I just sent through 10 years of having a self proclaimed "only leader who can get us through the upcoming economic hardtimes" up here in Canada and a leader who as Trump was very xenophobic and while im not happy with the current government up here right now it is still 100times better then what we had. Im hoping america can look past the lies and start to realize that even though Hilary may be corrupt her policies and her political background make her the best of the 2 candidates left. However i feel that the best option was Bernie... Not giving america what it wanted but what it needed as a whole. I am saddened that he lost the candidacy but its not my country and thus my words make no difference at the end of the day. It is America that will decide. Not a Canadian that has seen the problems that conservatives bring with their trickle down economics and xenophobic tendencies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295297961169603838.post-25361579084760171222016-07-31T09:01:07.772-07:002016-07-31T09:01:07.772-07:00Donna, it's always been about demonizing the p...Donna, it's always been about demonizing the people and party your running against..There are always lies or at least exaggerations. And you count on there being enough uninformed people out there who will believe those exaggerations. That's politics. It's been that way since we've had elections in this country. However, it's getting to me more about character assassination than the issues. Maybe that's because neither candidate in this general election can run on their record. He doesn't have one and hers is, well....not too good. I advise people, no matter what side you're on, to get informed. Do you're own research. Don't just listen to biased media outlets. It does you no good only listening to what you want to hear. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013457592308633987noreply@blogger.com
