Accurate and eloquent.

I'm old enough to remember when ( before edit-reading, it came out "I'm mold") "Four out of Five doctors recommend Chesterfields (cigarettes)." For some reason, a number of more mentally adroit folks didn't smoke cigarettes. In church (atheist who still goes anyway -- nevermind) I am often reminded of 10,000 years of Middle-Eastern fratricide. Is there any way to get these people to stop fucking killing their own cousins, so we can get back to the business of destroying our planet through some other abuse of The Ten Commandments? It is all about who's god is the best one, no? Peace -- yeah, I know, ya' don't hafta' tell me -- pollyannish, idiotic nonsense. Your piece is well written and gets great style points, though, Doc. : ) Again -- Peace.

The Blue-MAGA hivemind is worse than the common, run-of-the-mill Trump-MAGA, because at least the red side are contemptuous of the mainstream media and view it with distain. The blue side are, conversely, in awe of their “Preachers” such as Rachel Maddow (as much as Trumpers are of him, but at least he’s a candidate) and hang on her every word. Imagine if she ran for office! They really have drunk too much of the Kool-Aid and won’t listen to, let alone believe, ANY criticism of their anointed ones at all…. because Trump/Hitler/OrangeManBad/EndOfDemocracy. Even genocide is not a ‘red line’.

What a dystopian scenario when the government of the ‘land of the free’ is facilitating the horrendous brutality in Gaza

I cannot, and will not, disagree with a word you have factually stated. However, I must be brutally candid in telling you that you have made me sick.

Bad news M.F. when the truth makes one ill.

This is not ment to be an excuse or justification in argument against any of your opinions or observations, nor an attempt at "what about-ism".

As you are identified as a holistic practitioner, I would be curious about your views on the other political party.

After reviewing your writings, your honest observations about the Democratic Party and its systems of power and its systematic disfunctions are clearly your focus and motivation.

Do you suppose that there are any cringe worthy aspects of our other political party that you would expound on for us, or does this kind of examination happen to be off limits from your ire?
