Very Cool, cos I agree... =)

At least your not one of those "mirror mirror on the wall" types. You have a new follower, cheerio!

Very Cool and back at ya... =)

Indeed, and Sadly we the people give them Both... =(

Thanks Vierotchka, I was very young when they were in office... =)

"Have the psychopaths taken over America?"

Of course they have, but it didn't begin with Nixon and Reagan. Psychopaths run the show because they're willing to take risks, kill people, and since they don't care about anyone; nothing really gets in their way, or in their conscience way if you like. It's imperative that psychopaths unite, but united they're still psychopaths and thus they'll still be prone to kill each other, and turn on each other ultimately, unless they can enact some safeguard amongst themselves, whatever that might be.

Evolution is a very slow process (collectively) and the hippies utterly failed in that their quixotic psycho/spiritual ways left them weak. The GOP has ray guns and the hippies are an endangered species. "All We Need is Love", yeah right! How's that working for ya? When liberals can master the "Art of War" in all it's subtleties, then they might stand a chance, until then say hi to Mr. BigGuns and Mr. BigGold. There's an excellent "Squidbillies" episode where these hippies have gone to the forest to protest the cutting down of trees. One of them gets sawed in half.

But that's War, there's all kinds of other ways to look at it that are completely valid. There's a lot of name calling I notice, but doing such is more polarizing than healing. Alas, some would rather have us be polarized of course. Again, I know there's more to be said. But Hamlet was a "Revenge Tragedy".

This isn't directed at you V, but I had to respond to one of the posts, nothing personal. Take care.

Unfortunately, I think we will have to regress to "Jungle Law" once again. I don't see how we will progress forward until we go back to the "bad-old-days" so people remember why we have the social programs to begin with.

That's a Hard lesson to learn wynnmeg61... =(

A very hard lesson to learn, but the majority of the people no longer remember what it was like for the working man before the unions or minimum wage; or how our seniors who had the misfortune to outlive their families, or did not have families to support them, were forced to live. I guess all our seniors want to go back to living in chicken coops (not many still exist) or tarpaper shacks.

I think that is more of the republicans agenda... I am sure many seniors do not want things that way again...

I don't think they want that either, however, if they keep voting in the GOP/TP, that will be the end result. It is a real shame too because so many of them do still remember what things were like in the past.

Why should someone be on death row for 20 years, if their guilty they should be hung the next day, or throw out the death sentence altogether. I don't support Perry at all but his job is not to question our legal system, so why should he loose any sleep over the death of someone on death row. After 20 years someone changing their mind about a death sentence could be influenced by their Church or preacher, that doesn't make the person less guilty.

No one is listening to the seniors, the News Media controls what is heard by the general public. Look at the march on Wall street. Without the Unions Walmart can do anything they want, to make more money. They have been allowed to do almost anything that they want already. Unions keep non union company's like Walmart from having child labor and many other things that they would do if Unions did not exist. Money is controlling everything and that has to change, or we will destroy our self's.

On this one Hartmann is wrong. Should a soldier defending his Country loose sleep over killing someone, NO. Should a Governor loose sleep, NO . We need to change our laws.
