Bet I made near 80 calls yesterday, the first was to the company who insures the car to inform them that Wells Fargo, the bank who foreclosed on me early last year, has repossessed the car I’ve made $7,000 in payments on. Then was the call to the sithy Medusa, got lucky I gu...

	And I don't mean this to sound disrespectful, but does it matter? How we got here, I mean. My point is that even if we can see we're not where we thought or are supposed to be, that we know getting there is possible, the question becomes one of how. The why of it hasn't been as evident as it is now ...

	<description>
	Two points here, I tend to think that liberals comprise more than 20$ of the population, but since I'm certain it's an innocent mistake, I'll move on to the other point, and that's the word liberal. It, like every other term we throw on things depends upon the user and whatever connotation is desire...

	I stand as a proponent of what is democratic, defined in my Webster's as political or social equality, but it is the third definition of four.

	As political drama unfolds on all fronts, heated debate ensnares the worst of our senses when we engage in discussions of what it is to be a true American. Which side it is that knows the truth is a question that can't be answered, as perception is too much a factor in building criteria for said tru...
