I don’t think “hope” replaces “action”.

This is not pretty.
Indeed… but contemplate on how many voted to continue in this generally same direction.
Why didn’t YOU run? I would have voted for you.
Thanks! But I have little patience and I carry around a big stick like Teddy Roosevelt…but it was legal way back then. Not anymore. 😦
Uh oh. We CAN’T carry around big sticks? Bummer, I’ll be back. Gotta go gather up all of my big sticks……
Plus, I don’t have any hidden companies that I can funnel government business to…..so why politik? Is that a word? lol

But if you don’t have the hidden companies, and can’t use them, doesn’t it make sense for you to run???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I run real slooow-like.

Slow runners are still running. And getting things done. 🙂 No excuses Koji!
Dry knee?
Well…….no. Sorry. You “CAN” run. You “HAVE” ideas. You “SEE” ways to fix things. You MUST run. 😉
We used to call people who came into town to sell cures “snake-oil salesmen.” They would take your money and leave nothing to show for it. You would tar and feather them, and run them out of town on a rail. But that was the old days–no such remedy now.
I agree with you, kocart. We are a bunch of “weak minded fools,” as Plankton from SpongeBob Squarepants would say. Seems that we’re so stagnant, it’s going to take a revolution or collapse to run the rotten shite heads out of town.
Hear, hear.
I think the misery index figure is underestimated. Who wants to admit they’re miserable, anyway? Most of us attempt to be happy, no matter what. But deep inside, we should be crying, especially for the future and the ones we’ll leave behind. Very deeply sad to consider.
You have valid thoughts and points as usual, seapunk2. And I do cry for my littlest kids.
