                <description><![CDATA[Although it is used as a 'Toast' (usually @ the New Year's) it is also in lure purported to be a 'Curse!' - well<br><br>
<br><br>
"Toast or Curse,"<br><br>
<br><br>
We the people's of America do (presently) "... Live in Interesting Times."<br><br>
<br><br>
I put to NT "How does one hold their nose where Sexual Assault &amp; Abuse are Concerned!?" &amp; got '0' takers, yet later posted a seeded link "Hillary Wins Popular Vote &amp; its Growing!," which presently has over 150 responses. I guess, I should be heartened &amp; encouraged as a non-answer is my Answer! &amp; that 'No One' can or would dare (obviously) attempt a justification.<br><br>
<br><br>
I guess that I am a New Breed of American, Woman, African descendent, as well as Child of a Higher Good! As, I don't get 'angry' people, yet like the Tee-Shirt says agree "They Suck!" As for ignorance (to fancy a word, you ask me) well I don't speak 'ignart' nor am I willing to learn (@ this late stage or Ever!)<br><br>
<br><br>
Some wish to concentrate on syntax &amp; deflect, yet like the post that got no LOVE, it is a 'blind' (hunting word) of Obfuscation, which 'Tot's' means 'Clearly!"<br><br>
<br><br>
"I wasn't talking to ya - in the 'First' place!"<br><br>
<br><br>
Now that's how "Cheeky" /s is done - the Sly hides the intent better than the Many Bigoted Congress's of Obstruct/One-term or the Many presently acting like they didnt - do - what they Accuse Others of today - <br><br>
<br><br>
assemble, protest &amp; strongly - Object, yet unlike them the reputation, ability to perform duties &amp; outcome is/was not Bipartisan (except when the Republican administration said<br><br>
<br><br>
"We have no 'Idea' how our economy got here, yet We will get to the bottom of it!"<br><br>
<br><br>
compassionate, forgiveness (in their Losses) or participatory in the  "Forward" movement - as when the sitting President attempting to fix the aforementioned Mess (left by the Right Reich) said "Infrastructure" plans etc. Let's Roll, crickets<br><br>
<br><br>
(the lovely cricket photos on my "Hillary Wins Popular Vote..." article had some, they are purported to be good 'Luck' in Oriental lure;-)<br><br>
<br><br>
What REALLY gets me is the "Nanny, Nanny Boo-Boo," I don't have to listen to you!" clap back after the aforementioned facts regarding the 8 years of patriotic 'attitude' regarding those whose "Votes" &amp; "Mandates" met with Obstruction -<br><br>
<br><br>
why is any of that 'Relevant,' one may say - well because<br><br>
<br><br>
"Birtherism" was/is "Defamation" &amp; not just a lil (locker room or othered-wise) 'joke' made with absolute no 'HARM' esp. to the sitting President nor was/is it to the people whose political choice of "Hope&amp;Change" that gloater's today 'mocked&amp;whined' (non-Stop) about!<br><br>
<br><br>
In my view, if you put 'your' feet on top of the ground (this &amp; every morning) &amp; not under it then<br><br>
<br><br>
you owe the day (&amp; life itself) some "Gratitude" as opposed to "Attitude!" As it is not promised or any other form of guaranteed or given.<br><br>
<br><br>
"We" the people in order to.." is a Hugh responsibility - as people are as different as "Night" is to "Day," but also in the main the same! Anatomy &amp; Physiology are hard, yet engrossing subjects of study, yet the human structure &amp; body are beyond fascinating &amp; though there's  some trait distinctions -<br><br>
<br><br>
they are few.<br><br>
<br><br>
The sitting President &amp; I have something in common where our skin is concerned (no, it's not simple Melanin, yet it encompasses the "Simple" - mindedness), we are obviously of hue that denotes our duel Heritage (from those human beings that lack melanin), as well &amp; then<br><br>
<br><br>
the Spectrum party begins.<br><br>
<br><br>
Like him, I too had to brush my shoulders off of hatred &amp; make my own distinctions about 'who I Am' in those regards, but mostly in regards to the one who lives in the skin that others wish to other or speak on regarding the othering that "They" believe 'You' don't honor or fully get - now that is a mouthful of 'Cray-Cray' that makes for a "Syntax-ual" confusion!<br><br>
<br><br>
Think how "I" felt (&amp; @ times still feel) - enduring it!<br><br>
<br><br>
"You don't sound Black on the phone," or "your.. may fault, I uh!" "you got this job (snarling) affirmation action blah, blah" or " they only hired you because....," &amp; "you wanna be White!" BS because it is Utter BS!<br><br>
<br><br>
The "Who am I" of the Alpha &amp; Omega, which is stronger &amp; more than philosophy - the State of Ones Soul is of more Import!<br><br>
<br><br>
I was a pre-teen when American Women marched in the street for Rights &amp; when the fight for Choice was on - not much older, but a teen &amp; they made me proud &amp; empowered me, as I stated in "How does one hold their noses where Sexual Assault &amp; Abuse is Concerned!?" (which was rhetorical, yet legit question) that was when I was "ENDURING" those very things! The Catholic Church (which now have 'Hospitals' that allow a 'woman' in birth distress to die of "Septicemia" when miscarrying!) was all about the "Rhythm Method" hold out of Obstruction, but (Bing or Google - while ya can) &amp; the Vatican Vaults  (presently) hold treasures galore, yet<br><br>
<br><br>
Children Starve while they admire said pomposity, but<br><br>
<br><br>
"For what shall it profit a man to gain the world, but lose their soul!?" isn't included or relevant where "Tax" considerations are concerned nor were they in Jesus (disinherited times), I believe.<br><br>
<br><br>
I am a New Breed of those aforementioned's because<br><br>
<br><br>
Anne Frank &amp; the Persecuted Jewish people (Ellie Wiesel) along with Americans taught me!<br><br>
<br><br>
Emancipation turned to Segregation, which turned to Civil Rights Legislation - which then turned around in the late 20th century to reignite:<br><br>
<br><br>
Southern Strategy rhetoric, Genocide, Peonage through disparate sentencing guidelines (that were Intentionally directed from the genocide) &amp; the othering by prosecutorial (in league with many defense attorneys) misconduct &amp; felonies from the right to Vote into the present 21st century oif 'One-drop' madness on "Birther" defamation (again an Actionable Tort)<br><br>
<br><br>
I watched those (some of whom 'hate' me, yet Do not know me - because deep down they ARE me @ least genetics &amp; the "Cradle of Civilation" denote:-0 harmed by the Not so "Fiscal Responsibility" of Republican (&amp; other politicians) policies etc. One hyperventilating on a curb because she couldn't bring herself (in need) to go where - she previously gave food!<br><br>
<br><br>
The family whose dad lost the job, which lost the house that drove them in a 'beater' to the Homeless Shelter (with many of all color &amp; circumstances), which the embarrassed children 'begged' to be dropped else where else those they educated with now - would know their plot, even though the losses were being felt around Our country &amp; @ All of Our Expense with the exception of those who choose &amp;<br><br>
<br><br>
Who Froth presently for a Cabinet Seat to do it again, yet<br><br>
<br><br>
Worse &amp; Final - because I was also there when Tim Russert (in earnest &amp; shocked into anger) let us Meet through the Press those who (with Much Audacity) put a deliberate "HIT" on the 'Middle Class'n- the Air of Democracy &amp; the wind beneath<br><br>
<br><br>
"We" the People's wings!<br><br>
<br><br>
My 'allegiance' is to this our country &amp; "We"<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; no doubt the bigots (like the moneied up greedy) are beyond the gates of Washington, DC (thus the HUMONGOUS Vote for Change in 2008), yet America is Broader then just Washington, do I wish that the Sitting President would SUE the (you know what) Reich out of the man who doubles down on perjury, defamation &amp; believes 'success' comes from the rules that allow him to skirt the justices he should be receiving - Yep!<br><br>
<br><br>
Do, I wish the Judge (in his many fraud cases) would say (what so many regular people would hear) "You knew that s trial was starting &amp; get no " Special Treatment" sir, so are you prepared to settle - with an admission of your wrong doing - or not!?" - Yep!<br><br>
<br><br>
Or<br><br>
<br><br>
Hillary Clinton gets Mad &amp; for the Women &amp; Girl's of America (&amp; around the World) sues on the Straight of my question that got '0' response or answer:<br><br>
<br><br>
"How Does One Hold Their Nose Where Sexual Assault &amp; Abuse Are Concerned!?"<br><br>
<br><br>
Yep, "interesting" times these 🍻 &amp; I (further put to "We") just who will 'You' be in them or by the time these times are done!?]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Well, the people have spoken &amp; some are presently speaking back regarding the so called president elect &amp; those who held secret meetings, yelled "LIAR" @ State of Union, Obstructed on<br><br>
<br><br>
"Birtherism"<br><br>
<br><br>
A/K/A DEFAMATION (which is an Actionable Tort Mr. President, not just something for a defamer - in transition to power - to Skirt on hummph Principle!)<br><br>
<br><br>
Or<br><br>
<br><br>
Changed their job description to 'One-Terming" to undermine the people's (@ that time "Mandate") Voice regarding " Hope &amp; "the changes" they voted and Won (twice) for, but to Hear the Revere today<br><br>
<br><br>
They #Never belly-ached &amp; worked Hard @ reconciliation &amp; bipartisanship in 2008 &amp; 2012, yet LIKE the MESS that Bush made (&amp; left to the left to Clean Upo) &amp; the Actual Two wins of Obama -<br><br>
<br><br>
They wish to Svengali away &amp; claim<br><br>
<br><br>
The (their) dirty behaviour, rhetoric &amp; Intent (legal word, like defamation!) CLEAN!<br><br>
<br><br>
But some want more than they have a Right too or a Right to take!<br><br>
<br><br>
My grandson came home from school (Elementary, First grader) yesterday &amp; told his Mom<br><br>
<br><br>
"a little boy came up to me momma &amp; he said, Now that " t"Rump is president, he was gonna make my sister S🎉🎉k his d😲😱🐑!"<br><br>
<br><br>
I "Hope" the Patriotic Proud Parents' eventually Choke on their Bile &amp; that We don't have more of these lil Hitleresk perv's to deal with, yet<br><br>
<br><br>
Hope (as Many mocked) where some Citizens are concerned with its Clear mandate from bigots, yet Sexual assault<br><br>
<br><br>
is different then the Politics' of Bigotry - isn't it!?<br><br>
<br><br>
Watching election night &amp; listening to the Justification re: the sexual allegations toward president elect (as well as His own words regarding women &amp; inappropriately His own daughter)<br><br>
<br><br>
is Not a pass (for me or any other women!) or just a "little fail!<br><br>
<br><br>
The Lady said (straight faced) "Oh, that was his " past," he's not like that<br><br>
<br><br>
"anymore!"<br><br>
<br><br>
WOW, thirsty, desperate/disparate Bigots just<br><br>
<br><br>
"BAM took it up a notch!"<br><br>
<br><br>
Yet, not that long ago there was Todd Akin unable to control his agenda of inside Rape (being) redefined - that our Do Nothing (for the "Black")<br><br>

<br><br>
======================================================================<br><br>
How does one hold their Nose regarding Sexual Assault/Abuse!?<br><br>
<br><br>
Do not know -<br><br>
<br><br>
As an Incest Survivor, I do not take Kindly nor suffer such predators Lightly<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; neither should any or those claiming "youthful indiscretion (s),"<br><br>
<br><br>
"all better now!" or that it is about "Sexual gratification"<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; not power/control! must mean you haven't every been Assaulted &amp; Victimized in this regard<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; good on you!<br><br>
<br><br>
Bigot speak has gotten a Pass in America since before 1865 &amp; certainly since (even with the Hate clause Exception of the U.S. Constitution)<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; those victimized by Rape (&amp; other such actions) know the exceptions for rapist:<br><br>
<br><br>
they are innocent until someone (including law enforcement) can let um get away with it<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; boy did the<br><br>
<br><br>
Voters for"t"Rump not only Let him get away (thanks for the assist Comey &amp; FBI!), if that lil Child of the Corn minion is any indication<br><br>
<br><br>
they have also Emboldened a ("alleged" EVEN with His own words) Sexual Predator &amp; those minions!<br><br>
<br><br>
What works for Some (as Obstructed hope &amp; change denotes) does not work for others - it is Life &amp; a Given,<br><br>
<br><br>
yet Sexual Assault shouldn't be one that "Works"<br><br>
<br><br>
from Our White House! save you Bill &amp; Monika unless you wanna talk about Attwater &amp; Reagan, "Just Say No," BS policies etc. Or<br><br>
<br><br>
The MANY Mess(es) that the Bush(es) made, left &amp; still keep on giving (like Afghanistan, I hear Obama, but KNOW Bush HW. Google - left in Desert for hearts &amp; minds attitude of the Afghan people RME's)<br><br>
<br><br>
Held your noise indeed, buried Humanity, principles, purported family values/morals, patriotism, democracy &amp; well<br><br>
<br><br>
Decency goes without Saying - even though It<br><br>
<br><br>
Shouldn't - braggadocios Patriot's

                <link>http://thenewstalkers.com/moonchild63/blog/896/regarding-last-night</link>
                <guid>http://thenewstalkers.com/moonchild63/blog/896</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[This was my response to comment on NT article regarding Canada's response to our election, as well as "Hillary Conceded":<br><br>
<br><br>
As bad as that is, I am glad she did. (conceding)<br><br>
<br><br>
The victory laps have begun, yet WORK must begin &amp; how much Hope do you have from people who Obstructed Change on the Humbug of Skin (esp. in the 21st century) because it still comes down to some basic facts:<br><br>
<br><br>
The Republicans had 8 years &amp; lost, didn't do it well or graciously, but gripped &amp; whined, *itched &amp; moaned. Refused to do ANYTHING but shore up the White Collar, War and many other criminals that Bushonomics made!<br><br>
<br><br>
Bernie went establishment to beat the establishment, yet that move didn't help McCain and it certainly didn't help Hillary (yet for those going after her - NOTHING would) apparently!<br><br>
<br><br>
Listen to cringe-worthy try to reassure "those people" there will be a place at his table - like Reagan before him, witch hunts in Salem, Nicea an agnostics!<br><br>
<br><br>
Thanks ????, I needed the ironically cheeky levity of Canadian's - right now, yet since the birth of the Nation (for good or ill) none have fleed from the/a fight, not Crispus Attucks' (the first to die in Revolutionary War) or Sitting Bull (making the best in a Buffalo Bill's Wild West show with dignity/pride) the only people who refuse to bend or compromise (in the face of change or the people's voice) are Losers<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; "We" (collectively cuz the economic circumstances of 2008 through now is (IMHO) on us 'All') -<br><br>
<br><br>
whenever bravado is through!<br><br>
<br><br>
Having served my country under a president that I did not vote for or agree with (policy wise) one learns to respect the office &amp; thus the Commander-in-Chief (if you're an adult &amp; God's the god of you, again my humble opinion - only) so apparently principled people held their noses &amp; voted (or so they presently say)<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; in our democracy, once done - baring unforeseen's, it can not be undone (for at least four years) &amp; those are the facts:<br><br>
<br><br>
Splitters, Haters &amp; gullible 'angry' hoards have bullied &amp; spoken, but like with Bushes economic policies &amp; serveral "Do Nothing, for the<br><br>
<br><br>
Ne✌ro Congress"es later -<br><br>
<br><br>
Talk is cheap &amp; BS has already cost us enough across the board &amp; as a Common Sense American, it's<br><br>
<br><br>
"Put up or Shut up" &amp;/or in four years if neither is done,<br><br>
<br><br>
Get out the way because the past reflections of trickle down, Reagan angst or who exactly is making America less then great just might cyclically come back around to Karmically  in the arrogant a**es again - "fiscally responsible job creators" 8 years Bush &amp; the 8 years donor Nothing<br><br>
<br><br>
So PROVE IT! ]]></description>

<br><br>
There is nothing wrong with staying home nor is there wrongness in working (in or outside the Home a Woman's work is Never done - come on ladies ya know it is True!), yet "We" know the wrong here and it is not the awesome &amp; Over qualified female candidate for President!<br><br>

"To appreciate the significance of this, it helps to remember what a ruckus that quote caused at the time ― and what that ruckus said about the politics of gender back then."<br><br>
<br><br>
Then, that's rich!<br><br>
<br><br>
"Hillary Clinton was a controversial figure in 1992, but not for the reasons she is today."<br><br>
<br><br>
I think they are Exactly the Same!<br><br>
<br><br>
"She was controversial because she was a woman ― and, more specifically, a woman who had decided to have both a family and a career."<br><br>
<br><br>
Yep - then resembles NOW (some will get that reference, Others will have to Bing or google it:-#) IMHO<br><br>
<br><br>
"As Rebecca Traister of New York magazine put it, Clinton was widely seen as “too radical, too feminist, too independent, too influential.”<br><br>
<br><br>
&amp; When she spilt the right-wing tea only to be proving Right-On-Point!<br><br>

Give Um Heck, Hillary! I'm with the Grown Up &amp; She happens to be Her!<br><br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 In addition to "OM" I offer this article &amp; alert NewsTalkers to new meditation offered via Oprah &amp; Deepak Chopra! 7 ESSENTIAL HABITS FOR PEACE by: Deepak Chopra, M.D. Embrace Compassion and Leave Conflict Behind https://chopracentermeditation.com/article/9-7_essential_habits_for_peace<br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  “It’s only when you make the process your goal that the big dream can follow.” – Oprah <br>
 We all want to contribute to global peace, but it can feel disheartening when we see discord in the news, in politics, and even in our own relationships. But you can take a different perspective by setting the more accessible goal of creating peace within yourself – which then expands like a ripple to your relationships, your community, and ultimately the world. Wisdom traditions teach that the source of violence, war, discontent, rebellion, and unrest lies inside each of us. When you become a unit of peace consciousness, you have added in a unique way to bringing the world to a state of peace.<br>
 Develop your peace consciousness with these seven essential habits for peace.<br>
  Habit #1—Being Calm and Centered <br>
 Peace is the natural state of the mind at its deepest level. Non-peace begins in small ways, when you are worried, restless, distracted, uneasy, or dissatisfied. Begin being mindful of those signals from your inner world. When you feel them, take a moment to return to your calm space. Either meditating or simply sitting in a quiet space with your eyes closed and taking easy, deep breaths, works very well. This is about learning how to act upon early signals that peace isn't there inside.<br>
  Habit #2—Non-Participation <br>
 To be a unit of peace consciousness, don't participate in the opposite attitude, which magnifies the reasons to be unpeaceful. Do your best to avoid conversations that include gossip, blame, backbiting, and discussions of how terrible the world is. You don't have to be a Pollyanna, acting as if everything is already perfect. Simply focus on not participating when you can feel that a situation is turning toward anger, resentment, envy, and hostility in any form.<br>
  Habit #3—Taking No Side <br>
 Peace consciousness wants peace to be equally shared by everyone. This isn't possible if you take sides, judge against others, or indulge in us-versus-them thinking. Be aware of everyone's right to have peace. When you find yourself reacting with a knee-jerk response against a certain person, group, faith, ethnicity, or belief system, remind yourself that you can hold a different viewpoint while still wishing peace for all concerned.<br>
  Habit #4—The Intention of Peace <br>
 Peace consciousness becomes more powerful as it deepens. One way to deepen your awareness is to put an intention out to the universe, which really means connecting with your higher self. Any time you witness or confront a situation that needs a peaceful resolution, ask inside that the way to peace be opened for everyone. Sit quietly with this intention for a few moments, letting your heart go out to those not at peace.<br>
  Habit #5—Commune in Peace <br>
 When people of peace get together, they magnify their consciousness. Start finding ways to commune with others who wants peace. This can be through sitting with a child and absorbing his or her innocence, or discussing the topic of peace with a sympathetic person. You might consider joining a group that is working at any level of peace, such as preventing violence or helping troubled teens. Feel the warmth of sharing your peace with others.<br>
  Habit #6—Selfless Service <br>
 Peace consciousness wants to be of service. It does little good to be at peace passively in isolation. Allow someone else to feel the peace you have found by being of service. Let yourself experience the kindness, good will, and compassion you can bring to a troubled situation. Your service can be as modest as visiting the elderly or as active as joining a community outreach project. Your aim is to give and receive at the level of peace that benefits both people at the same time.<br>
  Habit #7—The Soul's Peace <br>
 At the deepest level, there is infinite peace, undisturbed by the play of opposites and the clash of darkness versus light. From the soul's perspective, there is only pure Being. Each day, take time to meditate on your true nature as unbounded love, compassion, reverence for life, and unity with the divine presence. See the light expanding from your heart in all directions. Let simply being here be enough. <br>
 Realize deeply that you are an indispensable part of the journey to enlightenment that lies ahead for everyone who steps on to the path.<br>
<br><br>

                <description><![CDATA[   In the last few months, I have had the opportunity to sit with a lovely young lady, she spoke at times, but I couldn't understand a word she was saying. She ate and slept, drooled (at times) and boy were her bodily functions at times P-E-U!     She is now my good friend and I will miss her as she now must move on to the new person who will be sitting with her for a while. People come and they go in and out of our lives - some fleeting and brief - others you couldn't blast them out with dyn-o-mite! If you haven't guessed it was a BABY and her parents (one a good friend of my daughter) needed HELP - their previous sitter had a STROKE and they needed a fill in - I was honored to be asked and HONORED to have done it.     I have issues with leaving and change etc. (they are human issues mind you, yet trauma and tragedy - known a few- make that HARDER for some;-), yet in knowing myself, I have made the best peace that I can givenwho -I am in this moment. I will now get to know what she's doing sporatically &amp; see her whenever my daughter has a shin-dig or something and I will coo &amp; want to know if she remembers me - the lady who made up songs for her, read her stories and tried with the language barrier - to communicate some wisdom &amp; oh, I laugh at how the Lord tricks us good with babies    - they have so much knowledge trapped in their consciousness and wonder still in their lil souls (to the antagonist of the Lord, those that say things like that religious BS and Bible crap -you are free to skip ahead, but something tells me it will only get worse for ya - if you read on!)     I also took a week (not a whole one cuz  STUFF HAPPENS  &amp; of late - it happens  DAILY !) to go somewhere there aren't any people pretending to be this, that and a third - no body entrenched in BEING RIGHT, RIGHT FIGHTING or just OVER-ALLBEING DIFFICULT. As   reflection is an art and adding meditation to the week has not hurt one bit! The body is fascinating, I could spend hours pondering Homeostasis alone!     The baby has helpedme to remember - what it is I connect to&amp; how I fit;why I matter in the scheme of things - no matter who else thinks differently! We all seek that which matters to us and that for which WE matter - it's not harmful unless WE make it so.  The lesson for this last week ofmeditation (retreat I took from Bigots, politics, man's inhumanity to ALL things)    is  Living Optimism     the centering thought "My life unfolds in divine order," and the mantra -  OM Daksham Namah  (my actions achieve maximal benefit with minimal effort.) howis that for timing, divinity or con-winky-dink-isn't thatwhat babies are/do -  achieve the maximal and the benefit is minimal of effort  -    the slobbering, crying, pooping etc. the stuff that is not so fresh is stilla boon to those who love um and the other the trap stuff that gets ya - smelling like Johnson &amp; Johnson, laughing, gripping your finger and the baby talk that - they just can't get us to understand from the divinity that they are still attached to.       IN MY REFLECTIVE PROSPECTIVE,     I had a nice time hanging out with a baby (my children long grown &amp; my gran's - no longer infants) who taught me to treasure time with children &amp; alone, that doing something for others - expecting nothing - can some times afford you the something - you didn't know you needed or wanted! That wonder never leaves us even when we achieve maximal grown-ness &amp; it benefits us to Keep it Simple        - elaborate can be exhausting and sometimes like babies - gibberish is justgibberish &amp; other times it is the profoundest of Divinity talking-WE just can't understand what it's saying.    ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My grandson is Autistic, he does not speak the way children his age do - he is 3. I find myself utterly envious of the fact that he makes himself known, yet without words. It makes me think of Maya in her early years (after childhood trauma) denoted in "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings." Speaking is over rated when you consider the words coming out of the mouths of some lately! My grandson is funny and sweet - yet he has his temper tantrums (less verbal then some) and they remind me of those of which I previously wrote. Today, I saw a story on the Struggle of those who live in suburbs who find themselves sprawled in poverty that others paint only on the urbanites, I have repeatedly told of those who though not late for the ball - still find the slippers too tight for comfort, those who through the promise of American Dreaming are left in the nightmare of the recessive greed of others &amp; yet speaking does not change the minds of the imbecilic who seek to belittle and ignore at the same time. It seems the World listens, but hears little and some in ours do not listen, yet have so much NOTHING to say - they may as well NOT speak at all! When confronted by the facts, truths or differing ideologies &amp; opinions of others they do not reflect they deflect and attack - because only their words (at least to them) have meaning. I enjoy the "Forum" the same as others here, yet I notice the boasterous here do not often enjoy my postings in the same vein as they do the ones that others post - few comments, yet many read - like my grandson, I guess I communicate witout words to them as my sentiments do not trigger responses - only polite compliments, which I accept, yet wonder why those WHO HAVE SO MUCH THINGS TO SAY esp. when they are talking about those I am talking about, but in a different way! Presently the RNC will spend ten million dollars on the same people to recruit and understand them, yet for ALL THEY SAY - I thought they claimed they did - about as funny as my grandson taking me to the refrigerator an I thinking he wants something inside open it - only to find he wanted something a top! IN MY ODE TO CAGED BIRDS think they would be better off listening and keeping their monies - as those who they have maligned or allowed to be maligned have long memories and good ears - they will not be so easily placated as the many who have gained a kind of legitimacy from an association with the ACTUAL Republican party - who because of lagging membership and money therein allowed the fringe in - as the fringe used the language of the Southern Strategy to say they are a like, yet they aren't - moderates or liberal republicans have found (like my grandson) they have no voice, vocabulary or opinion that the interlopers want to hear &amp; they have been relegated to the backseat (as it were) of their own affilation/association/party - they like Maya don't sing out because they are afraid to speak for fear they will locked out of the cage they seek to perch in. It is sad that those who know that HATE SPEECH, SYMBOLS OF LYNCHING, OBSTRUCTION boardering on TREASON belong in a Silent prism and only they can put it there, but the alliance they thought would help them has become more than a hinderance - it has become the albatros that some among their party wish to be on others necks. Silence won't help them now, millions thrown at a problem that only they see or think they have - cause those of us for which they so VOICETEROUSLY (yes a play on BIOSTEROUS) sought to belittle, disenfranchise or malign HAVE HEARD THEM CLEARLY &amp; know why the caged bird sings - they sing for thee in their pit of mercilous dispare - a song of freedom that is for ALL &amp; not some! I marvel at the process and activities of my grandson born two months early being starved of oxygen in the womb from the cord wrapped aroung his neck several times, yet found a way to make his non-verbal self heard and got out with minimal damage to himself, yet with people who love their ropes and hatred, I am left to worry that if he doesn't speak eventually - what will become of him in a world where some view him with such utter disdain and then I am envious no more, I am a grandmother on a mission to make sure I SPEAK LOUDLY &amp; OFTEN FOR HIM.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[   Well the CAT (as they say) is out of the not so secretive BAG! From the moment the video was shown, I was aware of the sentiment of Mitt Romney regarding whom it was he was referring to when he uttered the 47% commentary. The media and others have sought to clean it up in their ASSUMPTION of the non-entities Mr. Romney was talking about - most recently the Romney's came out to pontificate more on the Why's and Where-fore's of the lose and within that diatribe they sought to ELOQUENTLY reiterate about those whom they felt would give President Obama an unfair &amp; unequal advantage -  THE MINORITIES !     Many have stated the obvious - obvious to them because they are not IGNORANT nor UNAWARE of the rhetoric ortactics, which have been historically used against them - there are those who have used this STRATEGY with a Southern drawl an origin for many a moon. It is a simple one - scapegoating with fear, insinuations and premeditation in INTENT! It was the jargon used to take the VOTE away/back from the emancipated &amp; reconstructed Americans - by onesadding NEW and obstructive practices to limit certain FREE Americans from the process of LIBERTY - because they were of African descent.     It allowed the fix to be put in and the self-righteous to feel good about the rigged nature of the game, yet it was ALWAYS evident to those who were being maligned, disenfranchised, belittled, diminished, talked about and hindered. Many have pointed it out in relationship to the election, the obstruction that followed and the lack of forward movement on any policy, procedure, idea or legislation; the apathy in fixing the state of American finance from when and where it was as the President took office four years ago andthe begruding attitude of the turn around, the slow movement on the recoveryor any other policy that he puts forward is doomed by the mentality that wishes to cloud their true beliefs and intent with "economy" jargon and half-truths about WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON &amp; WHY!      IN MY NOT SO UNAWARE AWARENESS  , I was not ONE of these people     - instead I was one of those being talked about in a derogatory vein - as I would vote for the president because as Mr. Romney not so eloqently put it - I WAS BLACK - like him, but in reality both times it was because he was the best choice for the highest office in our land. I am keenly aware that the stats being used regarding - who is on the dole - by some are skewed based upon bias, prejudice, bigotry &amp; IGNORANCEof a nature my people have never fully understood and furthermore the relish with which this ASININE belief is spouted be-labors the TRUTH of the language, actions and vitrol ofsaid verbage (and I point that out every chance I get), yet there are still those who seek - tothrough what they believe to be CLEVER SUBTERFUGE - deny the ACTUAL TRUTH for all the OBSTRUCTION &amp;HATRED to no avail from those who can see, hear &amp; discern CLEARLY and now with the help of a SouthernRepublican the truth, which is on its face and the President's has been UTTERLY REVEALED - it is not the economy STUPID that hinders in this situation &amp; circumstance - IT IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK - STUPID - DUH!        The headline on the Daily Kosfor March 14, 2013 read   - SAYING OUT LOUD WHAT REPUBLICANS THINK: GOTTA OPPOSE OBAMA BECAUSE HE'S BLACK -    so Justice Scalia spoke prematurely when he claimed - "racial entitlement" regarding sec. 5 of the Vote's Rights Actit was then and is now a relevent protection under Federal Law, which makes certain States subjectively watched for their patterns of exclusion and practices of prejudice that they inflict with relish and fore-thought although the Republican from South Carolina is a physician &amp;highly educated who actually supports the legislation within his State to expaned Medicaid he says:         The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party, Crawford said."          It does not matter that our President is of mixed race (as label pushers call it) or that his mother was Caucasian - that he was basically raised up by his Caucasian grand-parents or that he endured discrimination ALL his life (from both sides, which is a WHOLELY OTHER STORY!)that he had to make a conscience decision about who he was and where he would stand in this life especially when there are those among who say "you are still a - BLACK"or those who say "He is not - Black -enough!," I personally think he chose WELL - to think for himself and live a life of value  ALWAYS !         SO WHAT people DO NOT LIKE, RESPECT or CARE FORyou because YOU ARE BLACK, I live that everyday and it has cost me, yet not my dignity, self-respect or identity &amp; it   NEVER WILL   although there are those who try toforce the issue at times - I tend to consider the source and move on!         So the JIG is up people - the lofty half-a**, half-truth of an argument that is as transparent as cellophane -  the President is Black &amp; the Republicans don't like it or him because of it !They would rather see our country imploded then follow that"N" - there now doesn't that feel better, I know I always feel better telling the truth &amp; owning my beliefs. As I understood the pandering Romney (almost a year ago) was doing when in speaking to HIS AUDIENCE - in the way their $50,000 paid for plates wanted to HEAR - they were primed to diss the minorities and hear the "N" talk, but Scott Prouty and the Nation were surprisingly aghast, astonished &amp;appalled, yet I just looked on (with the knowledge of one having fore exposure)       IN MY NOT SO UNAWARE AWARENESS   ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This past week "WE" lost two children: One to a gun related death and the other to the after-math of bullying: Four year old Michael Easter got a hold of a firearm, shot himself one time and died as a result. Michael's father Mark is a Sheriff's Deputy (the gun was not his service weapon) who at the time was enroute to work when he received a call from his wife regarding the tragedy. Unfortunately Michael died from his injuries at the hospital. Bailey O'Neill was twelve years old and in the sixth grade. He died as a result of injuries he sustained from being attacked at school - a broken nose, concussion and other injuries; he was subsequently put into a medically induced coma by doctors when a few days after the beating and being seen by doctor's he started suffering from seizures - he did not wake up! The school is of course sorry for the families loss, yet the two students accused of attacking Bailey received a two day suspension - no comment on if they will be criminally charged as Bailey also had a blood transfusion due to infection from pneumonia. In My Honestly Sympathetic Opinion both these children came from what some would call the "Good Families" and no gang-bangers or those others called - the dependent or "parasitical" class, I have been reading &amp; hearing so much about were involved. Which denotes that violence, crime, bullying or gun related incidences/accidents/death don't just occur in bubbles nor are they relegated to the poor or minority (better known as THOSE PEOPLE) communities. I'm sure those standing so literally onSecond Amendment beliefs re: crime statistics &amp; those people will be disappointed that they can't add Michael Easter to their tally nor will they help Mark who knew well about gun-safety, yet in an unguarded moment - a lack of safety took his son - he was a Sheriff after allnor will it stop the pain, recrimination or angst from rippling throughout the rest of his life.&amp; Bailey's parents won't care about the "zero-tolerance" policy (which to me is no policy at all) of school administrator's - their son is gone, and no amount of sympathy or I'm sorry will bring him back &amp; neither will whatever they decide or not to do with the two young children who help cause his death - either directly or indirectly. "WE" can continue down the path of blame, ignorance &amp; failure as if time is all "WE" have &amp; our children will continue to suffer for it! In My Honestly Sympathetic Opinion Michael and Bailey were both let down by our apathy - guns don't kill people or some 4 year old in an unguarded instant, yett a hunk of metal (some will say either both or one of his parents were negligent, yet if there hadn't been a GUN present!) brought home DID and because "WE" arecomplacent in that "WE" can't stop the bullying in our School's esp. with a non-policy like "zero tolerance," which is not as effective as SAY a proactive assembly every month or an open-forum with students &amp; faculty ACTUALLY DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT/PROBLEM!!! Yet "WE" just continue on&amp; on spending our time engaged in calling others "parasites" and insinuating that death, crime, guns and bullies are ONLY the problems of those people,the poor or due to Liberal or governmental leniency (which is my understanding from some ONLY applies to those mentioned as well - tsk, tsk) the polorization has become the catalyst that our children learn the BULLYING FROM TO BEGIN WITH - along with other things "WE" do and say! The human condition is complex true enough, yet there are rotten apples in every Orchard &amp; SH** happens EVERYWHERE, but you do not burn down the Orchard because of a few nor do you ignore rot; death is not the end, yet to Michael &amp; Bailey's parents it won't feel that way for a long time &amp; if "WE" just apathetically brush past these losses - turningmore blind eyes and ears to them - "WE" are the COLLECTIVE parasites - that will continue to COLLECTIVELY let down more of our children, but that's just - IN MY HONESTLY SYMPATHETIC OPINION!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As I thought about what to write for my BLOG this week, I thought about Jeff from the National Socialist Movement - I saw Jeff on D. L. Hugley's "Endangered Species" comedy show. D.L. had a thought to put the Black Man on the "endangered species list "- for various reasons and he met with Jeff in his headquarters -The "National Socialist Movement" is a Nazi organization and D. L. had asked Jeff if "Black people had done anything good" where Jeff was concerned and Jeff stated "They made Peanut Butter!," and yes he said it with a straight face and he was serious!Although this was not the first time I had heard this coming out of supposed sane and adult people's mouth and it probably wouldn't be the last either -I thought this ideaology that Black people thought, reacted and lived in this state of osmosis in which they used one brain and were responsive accordingly would make a good BLOG subject, but then as ludicrous as Jeff's statement was or that Nazi's would sit in judgement of anything or body - I heard something - EVEN MORE LUDICROUS COME OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICE'S! IN MY "RACIALLY" un - "ENTITLED" OFFENSE Justice Scalia and Roberts have either been on another planet or they are NEW to this one. Just a few short months ago "WE" had an election and apparently they missed the long lines, the elaborate ballets meant to discourage people from voting, the siege upon the courts to disenfranchiseearly, absentee or other types of voting- &amp;billboards that threatened voters with prosecution orfliers sent out with the wrong date to vote on them, which doesn't even coverredistricting in States by the party that fears they have outlived their usefulness or at the very least their previously workable strategies to get votes. On the day of the inauguration arepresentative was undermined in his State by having a vote called in his absence - on the surface it appeared un-premediated (kinda like Congress and it's four years ofOBSTRUCTION - wink, wink!!!), yet it was not&amp; these fellow rep's not only sought to undermine the absent representative they sought to do so by redistricting within his OWN district. Voter's Rights Act (VRA) is a "Racially Entitled" piece of legislation Justice Scalia said - like Jeff with a straght-face and loved the gasping effect that followed, yet where was the outrage for all the aforemention -NO WHERE TO BE SEEN! During the campaignthere werehanging chairs (and not for decoration), nooses on/off posterboard anddolls that hung in effigysymbolizingLYNCHING the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA - it was treated like an everyday occurance by everyone - as far as I was concerned and I still to this day am having difficulty with it, yetJustice Roberts claims that the South has changed perhaps he should go there &amp; be amongst HIS people because the succession talk that came from the re-election of the first African-American President, which supposedly heralds this transformation into a world &amp; nation devoid of DISCRIMINATION (and everything previously mentioned was just my imagination!) per the Justice's thus the commentary, yet to me these actions, languageand behaviours show me and the nation the seething underbelly of DISCRINIMATION withinand denotes -CLEARLY THAT SECTION 5 is very much still needed! Our president is unprececented within his presidency -I will give the Justice's and the BIGOT BRIGADE that - he is a first in many ways other than just coloring and has set precedent for it - most threatened, most obstructed, most hated, most maligned.... yep, I for one just feel the over-all LOVE OF MY RICH "RACIALLY ENTITLED" PRESIDENT &amp; LIFE here in America! Justice Scalia claims that G. W. Bush and Congress - when they re-authorized for another 25 years the Voter's Rights Act in 2006 - after much consideration, debate and evidence was at best a photo-op and at worst they WERE INTIMIDATEDby the reason it was being radified and that the unanamious vote given by the Senate 98-0 was a fluke or more pomp for the circumstance! Those who died for this to be a reality wouldn't think so northose who have watched in furry, outrage orstunned silence don't either - for these things are occurring in 21st century America and not in the 60's! Rep. John Lewis was there for this Supreme insult - he who had been beaten about the head with a billy-club, stomped by a horse and hospitalized for walking from Selma, Alabama to the capital of Montgomery to demonstrate re: the denial of rights for Blacks to register to vote- although after emancipation and during reconstruction in 1870 Black people had the right to vote, yet some later felt that the Blacks (though that's not what they were called then) were keeping them from public serviceor theirkeeping such cushy positions - SOUND FAMILAR? So strategies were employed and voting became risky business that could cost youmore than liberty and the unequal(as Jim Crow was in effect then - you know the "separate but equal" theory!) pursuit of happiness- IT LITERALLY COST ONES LIFE and presently if bigot's, successionist &amp; Jeffwith his National Socialist Movement had their way - although Jeff claims non violent (wink, wink)means -for this new life he'd like to give us!After Selma in 1965 LBJ (President Lyndon Baines Johnson)went on TV and registered complaint (which at the time was more than a little unprecidented) and then made this legislation - the VRA (Voter's Rights Act) to ensure that these tactics, strategies and actions were illegal under Federal Law - yet as "WE" have seen everything with some that was old - is now new again, but EVERYTHING that was previously deplorable, illegal or immoral!!! So IN MY "RACIALLY" un - "ENTTILED" OFFENSE the Justice's stand like those indays of old giving with one hand and taking with the other(Black people are use to this type of ENTITLEMENT from those who through preceived privilege can when convenient do as they please to others) within this CONSTITUTIONALLY DEMOCRATIC society, yet as another Judge says Scalia/Roberts etc. just - "DON'T PISS ON MY HEAD THEN TELL ME ITS RAINING!" when you are doing it - have the balls,if not courage- likeyou did when yougave "ENTITLEMENT" to corporationsover &amp; above the PEOPLE - along withan extra voice and vote- by endowing them INDIVIDUALITY within yourCITIZEN'S UNITED ruling!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[   As I sit     In My  Snowbound        Oblivion   ,     I wonder (if they could    that is!) do snowflakes -no two are the same argue about - who's more beautiful, fluffy or substantial ? Are is falling together to form a glittery blanket - a destiny they edure stoically!     Being from the Mid-West, which was hit (as they say) with a winter storm - 9inches or moreof the fresh fluffy stuff. The bulk of it falling yesterday as Iwatched in wonder at the way the combined flakes made drifts withwaves on top - reminiscent of those made by pebbles that once thrown - skim across the water makingripples that look like thewaves upon this fresh falling snow.     A day or so ago, I introduced my  BLOG  or at least its impending -ness  &amp; ended with a quotation from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran! I wish to continue with that author, book and inspiration as -    In My  Snowbound  Oblivion    uponwistful consideration ofaforementioned ponderings of the fallingfrozen, uniqually individualunits -functioningtogether -an analogy or comparisonformed a convenient segway:                   "         You      are the way and the wayfarers. And when one of you falls down he falls for those behind him, a caution against the stumbling stone.               Ay,   and he falls for those ahead of him, who though faster and surer of foot, yet removed not the stumbling stone  ."              We are the way &amp; the wayfares - as the snow is for the ground it falls upon - giving nourishment that will linger into another season and help what comes after to flourish. When one flake falls it helps the forming for the flake that comes after - not begrudgingly, but naturally.             The snow functions as a unit that falls individual, yet together to form the blanket, I now gaze upon. We (like the snow flake) together are greater than the sum total whole, yet when we are standing alone - We are not less than the sum of the whole.                       These  Stumbling Stones  that exist in our society where the way is obscured by wayfarer's ahead who have - not only - not removed the stumbling stone - they have thrown more &amp; who presently (unlike the snowflakes working in unison to blanket the ground with life sustaining H2o) seem content to leave only the stumbling, stumbled or fallen where they are - if you get my reflective perspective -   In My  Snowbound    Oblivion    .               We have political situation,financial situation(s - sequester)&amp; the over all situations (polarization under both and then some!) that exist where - stumbling stones of humanity  - are concerned, yet sticking with the snow theme- considering the amount of snow that fellfor some it may be an impediment to getting aroundsoothers will check on them &amp; help where need be; if an area is non passable someone will alert another to the slickness or the undrivable condition of the road &amp; so on. No matter how WE tend to get in our own way or block the way of another by not reaching back and removing the stumblling stone or alerting a wayfarer to such a stone - We are also at times like that unique snowflake falling ahead or behind another, yet together forming a blanket of drifts with waves to reflect upon                                               ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[  Consider this my -   Introduction   Blog -         In our present day society -seemingly ruled by polarization, political differences, religious/spiritual beliefs etc.,which are perjorative at best-sparkling like fools gold -along withfamilial or other orientation(s), personal (&amp; otherwise) opinion(s), assumption(s) &amp; perception(s), which oftenillict &amp;/or harbor divide etc.      IM_____      will endeavor to weekly (end of) offer up a  reflective perspective  based upon something that I:      took to heart      thought interesting      infuriating or note worthy....       Although subject matter will varythis Blogwillbe a personal offering - for the most part.   I hope to not only appease my friends "You need a Blog!" or "you are so crazy...you need a Blog!,"yetalso inform, enlighten, instigate/agitate said orientations, personal opinions, assumptions, perceptions  etc.for a broader prospective     So   In My  Hope-Ful  Offering     of     a new BLOG, I look forward to expression, yetalsohearing from the masses. I have set it initially as "just me," commentary, but will on occasion OFFER it as a Open-Forum - for panningthe massofferings, op-edopinion or individually mined prospective of others hopefully fostering solidarity, opportunities for empathy and/orendeavor to dispel presumptively real or imagined differences amongst orbetween us.      So until next time -I leave you with a quote from "  The Prophet  " by Kahlil Gibran         "...Surely there is no greater gift to man than that which turns all ones aims into parching lips and all life into a fountain.           And in this lieshonor andreward, - That whenever one comes to the fountain to drink one finds the living water itself thirsty; and it drinks one in while one drinks it."               ]]></description>
