Blessing in disguise
for one who tried.
For those who understand,
know
the other must hold the torch
until it burns his hand.
When the fish will be called upon
to restore the balance
of a once great land.

I hear you on the fish, Ida. I don't know what is going to happen. It is difficult beat back a man who has given nearly fifty percent of this nation welfare. When he wakes up each morning he had that many votes locked and ready. I fear for the future. I don't think this arrogant man is going to want to relinquish the reins come 2016.

Well, George Washington was a fish (Pisces) as is Romney. We had a chance to start over. I fear for the future as well.

Sometimes you wonder if we ever learn anything, but keep praying and hoping and working. It's all we can ever do. And keep in mind most people do about the best they can.

You are very wise, yann. Gets me in trouble all the time but I will always believe in freedom of thought and freedom of speech whether it is politically correct or not.
