That's all it was.

I was not surprised. If anything surprised me it was that Comey went on so long with his statement.

But the reality is nothing has changed. And nothing will change unless we fight to make it so.

We can crawl into a hole, or ...

We can fight, which means organize, coordinate, cooperate and never give up.

Bernie is just one guy. I love Bernie.

But he's not perfect, and even if Clinton had been indicted they never would have given him the nomination.

So - I want a better world than what we have now.

Not for me.

I've got maybe 20 years left if I'm lucky, probably less.

But I don't want my kids, your kids, you or whoever comes after me to think I quit. That I crawled away and let the sociopaths and the people who can rationalize anything for mere money, destroy the only world we have.

Life is a miracle.

I've seen miracles in my own life. I even wrote about one of them.

And I've seen tragedy. Lives blighted by poverty, and the unwillingness of those with too much to share anything with those with too little.

Lives ruined by wars they never wanted to fight.

People damaged by the neglect of our government to provide mental health care, clean water, police that protected us rather than occupied our communities.

Corporations allowed to metastasize until they could squeeze everyone of us of every last dime we own, all while selling us poison and lies.

So, do we lay down and give in, and let the future say of us "they were too weak, they had no courage, they were stupid and blind and mad with greed and lust for power?"

Or do we put away the ill will that the 1% has generated to separate us, put aside the small differences that they have nurtured to divide us, let go of childish things like hate and fear and envy, and join together, as one mighty force to oppose the people who will kill this planet and millions if not billions of human beings if it meant they could claim to be winners of whatever dung heap of devastation is left.

I guess you know what my choice is.
