Absolutely. Me, too. (I left out the part about still working because we are both retired.) We recognize our blessings, too, Halle. And we are well aware of those around us. People who have done nothing wrong.

And yet those talking heads continue to spew venom. And to get highly paid for doing so. Highly paid to think for those who are willing to let them do just that. And it is really just all about the power.

Common sense. Common decency. And middle ground. Where did it go? Can we get it back?

(And what in the world am I doing in the Political Forum? )
