Dear Marsha and anyone else who is feeling hopeless.
There are a number of dangerous threads being woven into this upcoming
Fantasy called "The Presidential Run for the Roses". One thread is
repeated over and over. The current Ruling Class, better known as,
The Establishment, wants you to believe that "All hope is lost." It
is far easier to trample people who do not resist. Whatever else you
do, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE!! Remember, there are many less visible, but
critical jobs needing filled at lower political levels. Get out and
work for those people holding closest to your values, or run for a
position from which you can express your beliefs. People will listen.
A few of them just might be looking for someone who share their own
positions.
Another thread is that of our National Security. We are being
frightened into coughing up even more of our dwindling personal
dollars to "defend" our nation from Terrorists who are sneaking past
our borders and disrupting our once powerful and peace loving nation.
Do not waste your time searching for these Terrorists. Ask instead,
"Who is causing the greatest Terror in our Nation?" It may not
surprise you to find that our once friendly cop on the corner now
looks like a Commando, dressed in Assault Gear. If you live in an
upper working class neighborhood, you might need to wander into the
local ghetto in order to see these once smiling officers in action.
Or simply organize a peaceful demonstration demanding the police to
stop being afraid of Black People. The Cops will suddenly attend your
demonstration, in full battle gear.
And one other disturbing thread is that of turning working class folks
against one another. The Establishment, also known as "The Empire",
knows full well that a House Divided Cannot Long Stand. They use
every opportunity to turn unions against other unions, people of color
against other people of color, men against women, working folks
against retired folks...even their own grandmothers, Green Peace
against Code Pink, the list is as endless as there are groups to be
exploited.
Most important of all is the need for each of us to question the
source of all information that comes before us, including this opinion
piece. Who is telling me.
Why are they wanting my support?
Can I verify the facts being presented?
Does the writer appear to be promoting unity among the Working Class,
or promoting fragmentation?
We must begin questioning all information that comes before us. If
not, some Trump-like Piper will tootle us down the road to our own
doom.

HI
I think of Trump as being truly awful, terrible and almost everything
else.
I think of Hilary as just plain terrible.
She sure doesn't act smart. They have several things in common. They
both like war and chaos. I don't think either one of them really care
about
people. If Hilary really did, she couldn't cause so many tragedies.
I don't know if Missouri is a swing state. I do know that there really
isn't anyone I want to vote for. All the state candidates for state
offices
are former Marines or army seals. This is really scary. Military
industrial complex? All right to life people who were military folks.
Don't understand that one. Sorry about all this rambling. It seems so
hopeless. Perhaps I will just listen to "Chrystal Blue Persuasion" and
think things might get better.
