Nov 2016

This is one of the best statements I have ever read on moving forward. I agree with every one of them except the cycle to change anytime soon. Over the past 50 years our education systems have been gutted so much that we cannot result in anything but an ignorant voting public. With the choice of DeVos to be secretary of education, I do not see this changing anytime soon.

I refuse to let this affect my physical and mental health--if it does they have already won.
