Take some time when you have it. It might change your thinking. It's the reason we have Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and all the rest of the RW Wurllitzer (that's what Media Whores online called it. Remember the Horse?).

Not such sweeping changes. A few to begin with (returning things to balance and open-mindedness) and then more from there. That's why I support Sanders. Clinton is just another neoliberal, making incremental changes at the edge if any at all.

You may have the last word.
