Success is not final,

Failure is not fatal;

It is the courage to continue that counts.”

I just got inspired by Paul Krugman's statement:
"Don’t ask whose fault this was. Plenty of time for second-guessing and recriminations. Ask instead, what can you do? For my part, that means telling the truth as I see it, as long as I can. The media will be under a lot of pressure to toe the line; don’t capitulate in advance"

So I won't go away. Our job now is to tell the truth, and report it, as we see it.

IMO the American experiment started to fail when we failed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Just before that was our high-water mark. Since then, downhill; yes, a few advances on particular issues, but the overall sweep toward greater rights and freedoms at that point stalled, sputtered out, and started first creeping, then racing backward.

TFW you can't decide if James H. Jones's book on the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment should be shelved under Health or True Crime

People don't understand economics enough to realize how crazy it is to criticize someone by saying they're a socialist and then demand to know why they aren't controlling the prices of necessities.

I think today is a 2 Ben and Jerry's binge kind of day.

Behind anger is fear.

Honestly, I'm terrified.
