I think many of us old timers around here need some rehab work to try and locate our own personal ground work. I have given up even trying to read some of the political reports that came from one of the worst elections in my own memory. I will hit 80 this year and trying to sort out right from wrong in all phases of politics has done some mental damage to my concept of right over wrong. Winning no longer matters when the subject of drones takes center stage. I still have to put up with Dick Cheney pontificate over why so many innocent people had to pay for 911. The killings continue and the names no longer matter. The system of voting has finally figured out how to win for the GOP. The winner will always be the counters. America is a nation of colored humans and I will not apologize for a single citizen.

I give up! I have done my work in searching for a moral America. There is nothing worth fighting for in Americas when it comes to searching for the right candidate when they all lie, cheat and steal for a win. I worked hard for Obama and at this moment in time, I would not trust him with a key to any drone flying above us. I became physically sick during the Clinton impeachment and this afternoon I saw the same Republican Senators drooling all over themselves to try and destroy a Secretary position in the government.

We must try for right over wrong at every corner and until we make the commitment, we should give up and watch the good ship lollipop founder.

I’m too tired to even sign a note.
