Hey....I just report the facts...that’s what it’s called.

The most troubling and difficult task for a prospective bill author or political party is to invent the name of law that is completely the opposite of what the proposed law would do....

These last four years of suffering the humiliation of being a citizen in the now-country of Obama have left me feeling like the actors on some of those old Sci-Fi episodes of the “Twightlight Zone”....I actually have trouble sleeping at night because of the disbelief of what my country has become.

Back in the 1920s there was an intellectual movement called "General Semantics." Their goal was to understand and clarify the thinking processes of people. The movement died out around the 1950s. It was still active when I was in college, but I've heard nothing of it since. Among their slogans were "The name is not the object," and "The map is not the territory." If the General Semanticists were still around, they might now say "The title of the law is not its real intent."

You are not alone my FRiend. I too, have lost a lot of sleep over the past several months and feel absolutely helpless since the Republicans don’t have the spine to actually represent and protect our Constitutional rights.

I further lay awake thinking of how helpless we will be to protect our assets when the economy collapses.
