That is so powerful the United Church of Christ adopted it as one of their slogans. We insist that any single thing is IT, over, done, finished. Thank you, Nancy, for remind us all that it is a long PROCESS, not a single done deal. <br /><br />To everyone who has a perfectly good reason for doing nothing during the 90s to stop the massive erosion of the New Deal, your days of lassitude and judgement are over. You need - NEED - to engage with rebuilding our nation. Anyone who didn't vote in 2010 "to send the Dems a message" caused the needless chaos we face, the influx of truly dangerous RW extremists in our Congress. To anyone who thinks voting is beneath them, or those who read pundits and extract understanding from that alone - you're being lied to by the Left as often as the Right. Read original bills, documents, speeches - don't just do the 'review of books' version of glossing over reality. <br /><br />Every journey begins with a single step. Every social change begins with real not faux knowledge of the issues. It took 40 years of inattention and indifference to get us where we are. It won't be fixed overnight and for sure won't be fixed if we do not base change on reality.Churchlady320noreply@blogger.com
