I do agree with you Timm, that politics, when it's working best, tends to make things better veeeeerrrrry slowly, and I think there's a lot of fixing to be done, which is going to be frustrating because it's going to take a long time.

Hey GR,
I hope your back is mending. Taking a tumble is never fun. Take it easy, and if thepain doesn't go away in a few days, see a doc.
Timm,
Looks like this mess isn't getting solved anytime soon. I have difficulty believing that our president is still cheerleading us, trying to convince us that we're "winning". I wish we were but that's not reality.
I've learned some powerful lessons from those beautiful trees that came down over the weekend. Some are that they endure through the storms (ususally). When they get hit too hard by they come crashing down.
Then they yield the fuel to create warmth, and in the following spring, their the trunks of those that remain are hung with buckets to boil down into sweet syrup.
I hope that metaphor makes sense.
I just hope that there is resolution to the storm that our great country has been sold. The brave kids that serve are not firewood, though I'm sure they're working for "regime change". I think that rather than imposing "democracy" on others in the Mideast, "regime change" needs to happen right here in the USA.
That which we feared most from the "terrorists" has been done to us, not from outside forces, but from those inside.
Our great country will indeed recover from the storm. It will take time.
And I agree with you that we can no longer rely on others to make it so.
Our "freedom isn't free".
Peace,
DTS
