Corporate media is wringing its hands over the conspiracy theories popping up over the death of Jeffrey Epstein, but imagine how they’d be covering it if he had a Russian surname and ties to important Russians.

Until such time as unified and organized change is possible, individual shows of courage and sacrifice are required. You are neither off the hook because others are not doing their part nor are you helpless. Your individual actions will be the catalyst required to inspire organized action.

Charlie Daniels said “Benghazi’s not going away.” Guess what, it did. It was just a political ploy and now that there’s a Republican President, nobody mentions it. Just like the deficit.

I can’t believe anyone would prefer to leave a billion dollars to their children rather than a healthy planet inhabited by all the wonderful creatures God or nature created. All of us, Republicans and Democrats alike, would like to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, yet even more important than that is keeping power out of the hands of those incapable of preserving what is so vital to all of us. And what else can you call such an attitude other than a profound mental sickness?
