Yes, NMorgan. We need to continue to grow, to be wiser, more strategic in our thinking and avoid going backward with fear and fury. This time is most difficult.
Fern, it really is most difficult. But we just accomplished what not one of us (be honest) thought actually possible! And we almost ran the table doing it. We may yet, if enough House members get indicted for their crimes. Allow me that hope.
Indeed, we should be healing our 'battle' damage, assessing our successes and strategies for improvement--and yes, our possible mistakes. Mistakes are the tuition we pay for becoming better.....
What is Washington doing to protect our main asset, the Vote? What are we all doing to identify, reach, and induct the estimated eight million new voters coming on line by 2024?
It is not to early for us to begin! Each of us can learn to use the tremendous energy of directed anger to be better--more effective--instead of being crippled by rage and disbelief. We are seasoned now, and as pro Democracy veterans we should also be looking to our own kit: How can we take better care of ourselves, for our own well-being and for the sake of our families and our colleagues in our "units"? How can we build our credibility and become better social neighbors to those who are on the wrong path, without being politically or morally righteous in this Time Between the Vote?
The struggle continues. Indeed, it may get worse. We are all needed to be our best--each and every one.
Peace, Slava Ukraine, Slava USA! I am so proud to be one of you.
Thank you Fern! I haven't been a regular for maybe a few weeks. But you know for certain how I feel about what you write, and who you are. So can I use your properly credited note on a few other forums? It is actually what inspired me to write tonight, instead of browsing what others were saying.
I'm not like TC, who writes, 'flattery will get you 'everywhere', Gus. : 0 ) What you take goes to the rest of us -- that's much better than 'everywhere'. Salud!
What I dread is the noise when the new Congress convenes. Benghazi X 10.
Yes, NMorgan. We need to continue to grow, to be wiser, more strategic in our thinking and avoid going backward with fear and fury. This time is most difficult.
Fern, may I use your reply to NMorgan on other forums? It is timely and thoughtful, and my thoughts need it for context....
Of course, Gus. Thank you for thinking it may be helpful. Peace.

Gus, The understanding and care you bring to our struggle is the gift of being fully human and working to remember that. Thank you, Gus Koch.
