The earth keeps on spinning on its axis and revolving around the sun.<br />We keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep our fingers crossed that our planet will remain undisturbed.<br /><br />However, the horrors going on in Washington will harm millions of people and the planet.<br /><br />So, vigilance is one thing and is important, but activism is even better. We can all make phone calls, email and sometimes demonstrate, go to town hall meetings, make the lives of Congress people miserable with pressure.<br /><br />Eternal vigilance may not be enough to be the price of liberty, but eternal activism is needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-60443281009665574972017-05-06T20:06:18.635-04:002017-05-06T20:06:18.635-04:00Uhh, Charlotte and Annamaria, haven't you lear...Uhh, Charlotte and Annamaria, haven't you learned yet that more who pile on EvKa the merrier he gets? :)Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-43461079180027261752017-05-06T18:39:06.459-04:002017-05-06T18:39:06.459-04:00Hurrah for you, Charlotte!!Hurrah for you, Charlotte!!Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-14072780721891379422017-05-06T18:08:18.961-04:002017-05-06T18:08:18.961-04:00And the oldest profession is story-teller, of cour...And the oldest profession is story-teller, of course.

Who was the first knight of the round table? Sir Cumference of course.<br />And I am no way saying that your government is a joke - I mean, look at ours....<br />But the human spirit endures all this, good sense will triumph, sooner rather than later I hope.<br />Interesting that in our local elections, there was a huge swing towards the conservative party ( unheard of in Scotland). Not because of their right wing Tory policies, but maybe because their real name is the Conserative and Unionist party....Caro Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499318515241879831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-78392182202069214632017-05-06T10:16:21.736-04:002017-05-06T10:16:21.736-04:00You're welcome, Mimi.
