straight. Now I have a headache. Lawrence and Ali Velshi are the only TV "news" shows allowed in my home. This shit show country sucks!!!!!!! I wish I could get to heaven sooner than later. I need the sanity of a stable, peaceful existence and that is what the human race in general does NOT want. I am a misanthrope and a realist. People suck, the USA sucks and it will not improve in my life time (or anyone's lifetime to be honest).

No wonder I only watch podcasts these past few years...saves me a lot of harmful stress from false corporate BS and propaganda.

There are times after I've had an evening of upsetting news that I watch something like Dick Van Dyke or Mary Tyler Moore so I can at least sleep. And I sure can sympathize since I was a pretty good history student and what's going on now is not the America I know - everything is upside down, the lawbreakers are running the government which makes no sense to me and I keep waiting for those "good guys" who have some power to do something. Though to put it in perspective, I figure if I feel this bad, how must Joe Biden or Barack Obama feel? They did the right thing.

Please, please hang in there, you're not alone. In fact you're among the majority.
