Yes, I'm 'bitter' about the directions my country has taken recently...how far back that actually goes, I really don't know. But bitter, yes....


The wage gap is appalling. The gender opportunity gap is appalling. The wage/gender gap is appalling. The Religious Right is appalling. The mandated Federal minimum wage is a disgrace.

I could go on...government in general, religion taking over government, International Policies, the 'freedoms' to be allowed to do the 'wrong/unethical' things...but I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here.

Where I live, in solid Repbublican Conservative Wyoming, it does NO good to protest much of anything. Hell, our State Elected Representative has missed at least 50% of the votes since she's been in office. (Barbara Cubin if you are interested) and 'we' kept electing her over and over. She has finally decided not to stand for re-election. Let's just hope what we do elect in her stead isn't worse. It very well could be. This is Cheney Home Territory, after all.
