It is a terrible situation in the US, as well as Canada.<br />Too many guns. <br />We, happily, have settled a family of 14 from Syria not too far away in southern Ontario. They are from rural Syria and have fit in. They have jobs for the father, and the community have really stepped up.

You demand that your friends and neighbors actually exercise the franchise and put their votes where their outrage is. You are unrelenting in your outspokenness. That, I think, is how we "turn them off," Rain. <br /><br />There are so many of them that the message is repeated over and over and over again (yes, that was the "talking point" and it makes me nuts) so it seems as if "everyone" agrees. But Hilary (and I can't believe I am touting her here in The Burrow) was spot on - furious, loud, impassioned and right - evenif her clip only ran once. <br /><br />Frustrated. Furious. Full of the good fight, though.<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-28654181514674762352015-12-04T06:46:29.942-07:002015-12-04T06:46:29.942-07:00Nothing new...but in my what-passes-for-prayers, m...Nothing new...but in my what-passes-for-prayers, may the world listen and understand.

I knew he had his talking points. I doubt he puts them out but the right parrots them all. This was a deliberate twisting of the meaning of words. Nothing new for the far right though. The good thing about him is I can turn him off. When it's political leaders doing it, those elected by a slice of the population, that's harder to take as how do I turn them off!Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
