I have weaned myself almost completely from
pol news. If it's political, I try to dump it.
If it has to do with a political race, I have
no problem anymore. I feel much cleaner.

The Whole Magilla is a tuf task but the net
helps me immensely.

Who cares as much for you as you do?

You are Blue and know the answer to that. And
what could be more humane than caring for you?

feel like it, not with chains to my lathe.
