Only in America or are there other countries that are that a**-backwards?. Of course Russian intervention and manipulation and collusion stacked the deck. I wonder if we will ever know exactly to what extent they went to achieve the result they intended which of course they got?

If they stopped spending so much money on themselves maybe there'd be more money to take care of the needs of we the people. I know! What an odd idea, right? So far they do whatever they want to service themselves and their patrons. Maybe that's the whole point of being elected prez,senator,representative. If so we the people are the stupid ones for expecting anything from them and for electing them. less

OR do you think it is the OBLIGATION/DUTY of every citizen to be informed and proactive and engaged in and investigating/researching everything pols do in our name at our expense? Why?

I have heard that "there are no accidents". If true that means everything is meant to be? I dunno. What do you think?

There even used to be "Complaint Departments" in stores where you could tell 'em what you didn't like and they'd try to do something about it....try to make you happy Now it's a joke. When/where did it start? At gas stations where you pump your own gas and they don't care if your windshield is matted with dead bugs? At the market where you bag your own groceries? At the bank where they have boarded up most of the teller stations and you either use machines they have in the lobby "for your convenience" or wait in long lines for the one or two tellers there to get around to you? This is PROGRESS? less

So they blame Him for everything saying He could have created perfect humans and chose not to do so. I think we all have the potential to be better than we are. We also have the potential to be evil and destructive. Potential. How many choices, how many outcomes does that include? Would you be happy living a life some other-worldly entity had programmed for you and no matter what you said or did was already mapped out for you? I dunno. Doesn't appeal to me. Being a game board piece whose moves are totally out of my control? Not my cuppa tea. Doth it appeal to thee? less

Funny is always good. Thanks, I'm out of the information loop on what is good and what is not.something happened to me last week that freaked me out, something right out of a horror movie. I am attempting to get *un-freaked, so I can move on from here. I'm too busy to deal with this at this time in my life. I need a happy calm something for sure. thanks

I got really paranoid and swam to the shore really quickly. The next day on the same stretch of beach a man lost his life to a shark.

But is anyone bolstered by their mental scars, which might prove the passing of a trial that bade them improve in the greater sense?

Not jumping into the fore at a moment's notice, without thinking.. I know I have evolved in so many ways... in some ways I am a different person... but when it comes down to it, I am not sure that I am really all that different..SO how about anyone else.. has anyone here ever REALLY changed? Have you achieved all those qualities you always admired? less
