Good morning Kevin and any others who are struggling with how best to
drive back the Evil Empire.
The Cleveland Comedy Week, turned macabre( involving death or violence
in a way that is strange, frightening, or unpleasant), turned into one
of the worst "reality" shows ever to appear on American Television.
Honestly, I could not do more than spot check the local channel,
waiting for Jeopardy to return. And again, in fairness, I did not
listen to Donald Trump's acceptance speech. I did get snippets on
Democracy Now. But this Philadelphia Story has caught my attention.
Not the Pomp and Ceremony, but the many thoughtful speakers, including
especially the mothers of murdered Black youth. On Democracy Now
there have been some very well thought out discussions that are well
worth the time to listen to.

Over the next several months, while the Mass Media racks in the
millions of advertising dollars with their negative sound bites, we
can take the time to discuss thoughtfully the best course of action in
our continuing battle. There are compelling reasons to swallow our
hopes and dreams, and vote for Clinton. There are as many solid
reasons for us to continue to work toward a replacement of the
Corporate Capital Empire with an enlightened working class government.
While I supported Bernie Sanders, knowing that he was still working
within the perimeters set down by the Empire, I doubt I can vote for
Hillary Clinton, even if my vote were the one that would prevent Trump
from entering the White House.
If America is so closely divided between Clinton and Trump, as recent
polls indicate, then we are a very long way from establishing a
People's Government that is fair and equitable for all. The last
thing we need is to repeat the mistakes made by Egyptians, rising up
believing we would suddenly have the blessing and support of our
military. Nor do we need to set up a new government only to have
opportunists muscle in and corrupt it before it even tests its wings.
It has taken us long years to arrive at the place we find ourselves.
We cannot make the Evil go away until enough of us understand that
Evil really lurks among us. We are still in the seed planting phase.
To some degree we are moving toward the nurturing phase, watering and
weeding the soil around our little seeds. But we are a very long way
from the harvesting phase.
So which way is going to give our little seeds of reason and hope the
best chance for survival? Vote for Clinton, and continue working to
nurture our seeds? Or do we declare ourselves free of the bonds the
Empire is attempting to place upon us, and fight from outside the
Establishment's Two-Headed Monster, the Republican/Democratic Party?

I suspect Bernie was subjected to some pretty intense strong-arm tactics, at
this point I wouldn't put anything past the DNC. Having said that, I totally
understand where you're coming from. In a way, both campaigns are strikingly
similar. Trump says he alone can fix things. Hillary is saying she alone can
stop he alone, and people are buying into it. For the second time this week,
I started thinking I would just go ahead and bite the bullet and vote for
Hillary, despite everything I know is true. And then this whole Donald Trump
is a puppet of Russia came up. My gut tells me that's just overselling in a
huge way. Next week it wouldn't really surprise me to see headlines
indicating someone found evidence that Trump is actually the true spawn of
Satan. It's just too much, and I really need to stick to my guns and not
play the game, despite the pressures out there to do so. Jill Stein all the
way.
