You said it. Politics here ain't pretty,and seems less-than-civil most of
the time. There are some true stars, though: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie
Sanders, and Al Franken, to name a few.
Much of the time, there's no standing up for causes or neediest of people.
Individuals with developmental disabilities (adults) in our state get no
money for oral healthcare. Can you imagine? I did a study on this recently,
and am utterly amazed.
I retain hope. I keep trying to build ideas, and of course this isn't for
the faint of heart (which many people feel themselves to be of late)>
We'll get there!
