Being a Liberal used to a badge of honor until a 2nd rate actor cum 3rd rate politician somehow convinced lost in the woods Americans that wealth and greed equaled happiness and salvation. This whole process hasn't been good for me. My wife of 31 years, who I adore, is showing strains of my constant forays into the debauched politics we're witnessing. I need, we need, to step onto a beach somewhere, or a hilltop, hold hands and look into one another's middle aged eyes and remember there ARE more important things than wading through the sewers of politics. But I can't refrain completely from wanting to somehow contribute something positive in this negatively charged world we live in.

Lest you and we both lose much true conscience calls and holds as strength with which we share our real selves for those we love, please bless that love which is the prize of your efforts and the light of dreams which shine on hope. Her call 'gainst battle serves another dream of peace and shared self.
