Was at lunch the other day with 2 friends. Hard as it was, I did not initiate political convo got but another did. Suddenly I felt like a priest when they both looked a bit sheepish and confessed they did not vote. My list of "did not vote" keeps growing.
Yes. We have disagreements about issues - and we always will. But there is this umbrella that so many of these issues fall under. Called Democracy (or Constitutional Republic). Can we not at least agree to join together to stop the bastardizing of our Democracy and join together to at least salvage that. Then...then, work on the issues under that umbrella?
Since year-end, adjusted my social media interaction to recalibrate and rediscover my center so I don't feel like my head is going to explode every day. Was a good decision. Onward!!
All other issues aside, wishing you all a Happy, Healthy 2018. https://counter.social/media/O9bZEC3Dq5DInTrt-nc

Can we spell L.O.S.E.R.?
HURRY! Time is ticking on the Net Neutrality issue. Call all your reps and tell them to call FCC Chair Ajit Pai and demand he abandon his plan to overturn Net Neutrality and the Title II oversight.
Just one more thing to add to the cauldron...

I find in tough times there are songs that kept me moving forward, kept me strong, silly as the song is/was. What is/was yours?

I've said on many occasions after I had joined FB that it often made me feel more lonely. A psych friend says studies are confirming this. Here on CoSo I don't feel that way. Thank you, @th3j35t3r, and new friends.

Lol just Z, Sandra or Fox is fine lolol.
Restoring empathy is a very important part of what J is doing here... we are a community of real people who have mutual respect for each other and most importantly we care about each other.
Even as virtual strangers or virtual friends... I'd like to think we are putting the "human" back into human being.
Yea that was kinda gooey but i meant it :P

Obama invokes Nazi Germany in warning about today's politics

At every juncture, we've had to wrestle with big problems.""Now, presume there was a ballroom here in Vienna in the late 1920s or '30s that looked and seemed as if it, filled with the music and art and literature that was emerging, would continue into perpetuity. And then 60 million people died. An entire world was plunged into chaos," Obama said. "So you got to pay attention -- and vote."
Have been trying to take some breaks this week to give my mind and emotions a rest, a recharge. But after a few days of this I am beginning to think it's easier to get the latest news as it rolls out vs playing catch-up. Otherwise, it feels like jumping from a plane without a parachute.
