After this past Tuesday, and after the ensuing depression, I have made a decision. I live in Pennsylvania, and yes, I am ecstatic that we dumped Corbett's ass. HOWEVER, not enough asses were dumped that should have been. In light of this, I have finally alit from my fence. I filled out a form online to start volunteering with Wolf Pac to hopefully begin to motivate others to get off of their collective fences. I am fifty-four, and if you had asked me twenty years ago if I ever thought I would become politically active, I probably would have laughed. Now that I have (hopefully) matured, I realize I am not the only living and breathing, thinking (well, maybe we need to double-check some of those repubs) being on this planet, I need to prepare for the future. Specifically that of my great-nieces, and grandchildren should I have any (and for my son-take note! I am NOT ready yet to be a grandparent)....
I, like many others, am having a very hard time fathoming how people (?) like Jodi Ernst could have gotten elected, when she should have been laughed out of her state. I realize the Koch bros. (which I pronounce COCK) have deep influence, but I guess that naive idiot in me keeps hoping that enough people will rise up and refuse to dance to the ever-binding strings these people hold. Oh well. Call me a crazy optimist.
In short, I am hoping that others like me will have had enough and decide to do something about it. Again, call me crazy.
