There is no rhyme when strident voices pulse into frenzied competition. Senseless accusations weave into threads of insanity. Cracking voices, spew ugly untruths in a race to win that which cannot be won. - Alison |

Hi Alison, I'm not sure what inspired you but I'm thanking you for your voice because it speaks for me on a subject that gets under my skin. It's not about taking everything to heart, and it's certainly not about winning. Happy Day in Alaska~ |

Senseless indeed, Alison and much ado about...not much. Aren't humans fun?  |

Too true Alison. Despite the frustration we who are glutted with agitation have to maintain our own self respect, within. Eric |

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words hurt more than anything." I don't remember where this variation came from, but it comes to mind in this instance. Insanity, surely, broken bones and hearts. whewwwwww. Alison, you are a terrific writer. I'm leaving a peace rose in thought here for you. |
