I have told people for many years that Israel was just a bunch of thugs. What is happening there now is criminal and I consider it to be genocide that WE are participating in--regardless of presidential party affiliation.

I'm 78 years old, live in Colorado, and delighted to see younger people stepping up and, in some places, replacing long time incumbents.

The world has changed dramatically in a very short time frame and, I feel, that our politicians are out of touch with the people that they are supposed to be representing. They appear to be more interested in keeping their jobs and raising money to get re-elected by any means available to them. We the People are only getting appeasement and the occasional token tossed our way.

The advent of computers first in business and then in personal computers; the use of the Internet; the apps accessible to the general public; the trolls; the overwhelming disinformation drowning out facts; the greed and wild grasping for every dollar; the unbridled quest for power and control that is overwhelming us all--I only hope that I live long enough to be able to feel that I have successfully done my part in trying to get us to a place where our government is BY the People and FOR the People.

Politics be damned! The games need to be stopped. . . .
