Is the allure of money so powerful that it can override someone's sense of justice? I think so. I think some even see it as kind of a game or mere debating skill. The only solution IMHO is to limit or severely restrict PAC money or money received by corporations to politicians in lieu of favors. Otherwise there is no incentive but good will and we've seen there isn't much of that involved in Washington. OSS, Yes, I’m always amazed if anything gets done.

It's like as soon as those people hit Washington, they get something sucked out of them that makes them realize they represent actual people, and their actions have actual consequences for those people. It's truly amazing that we ever get anything accomplished in this country.

That looks like a really fun rant. I'm going to have to read it. Thanks for pointing it out. There's nothing like a good stream of vitriol in the early morning to get your blood pumping. It's like a cold shower. Hey! That looks like a really fun rant. I’m going to have to read it. Thanks for pointing it out.

I did not know that about the cats and I'm a cat lover all my life! Thanks for the advice. I too like eclectic music and writing. Reg, a contributor and commenter here is a jazz pianist/vocalist/keyboardist/and any other instrument-ist and you two would no doubt have lots in common as well. We like our eclecticism. Welcome!

Cats don't like it and stay away from it. Now for blogs. I look for different voices by people who write well and can hold their own in a conversation. The subjects don't matter my favorites are three ladies who write about music from opera to bluegrass, books, Texas, Massachusetts, ghosts, storytelling, history, and raising a teenage artist which pretty well fills my personal motto: Eclectic R Us. I just found you and will be back for more. Solution for the cats … lemon peel scattered around, citronella plants basically anything that smells of lemon or oranges.

Yes, I think children are seen as disposable sometimes Otherwise why would so many abuse them? Children as one's property to do with what they wish. It would seem that like the Torchwood culminating episodes, children would be the first to go. Thanks for stopping by Jamie.
