34. I know others share the feeling I have about this election and everything surrounding it...

Nov 2016

that feeling that there's a step missing, a space where something should have been, an off beat and we are all waiting for that dramatic correction. A correction that doesn't necessarily result in Trump being removed from being president, but something more fundamental. We are all waiting for that appropriate response to insanity and it hasn't happened yet.

I want to believe in Jill Steins efforts, but tell me you don't feel that continued gap in your stomach. There was so much resistance to giving things a second look in 2000 and 2004 and now we are headed for a recount at breakneck speed. We are getting what we want and it still doesn't feel right.
