I could go on but I won't. I am not here to be on a soap box or tell you how to think. I just want people to read this: that our comfy North American sheltered lives need reminding that the world is imploding in so many different ways. Reminding myself included. I am not a conspiracy theorist or a fear monger I am a person who cares, deeply.

You have the power to change things you have what the rich and powerful fear the most... a vote. The rich fear this so much that when higher numbers of people went out to vote they rigged the results... The "Hanging Chad" ring a bell? Don't squander your vote. If everyone voted who are legally able to vote the world would be such a different place. This goes way beyond the cliché, "If you don't vote you can't bitch." Apathy is so last decade.

I know I have missed so many other issues worth mentioning. If you have an issue on your mind please share it in the comments.  I really want to know what is on your mind.

Hugs and Shit

The Momma
