We have to remember our power as Americans, that we should be telling the chicks and dudes in government what we want and need. We can't let this horror and helpless feeling make us forget that we have voices, and if we cry loud enough, we'll be heard.<br /><a href="http://minalobo.blogspot.com/2012/11/poll-preferred-days-to-read-blogs.html" rel="nofollow">Some Dark Romantic</a>Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-6033810569074242972012-12-17T18:13:19.493-05:002012-12-17T18:13:19.493-05:00Strange how we never had a fiscal cliff issue unti...Strange how we never had a fiscal cliff issue until the last couple years.<br /><br />I'm a Republican, but I wish they would do away with the parties.

I don't live in the States so can't do much, but it's difficult for me to understand how people have so many guns (or any guns at all, in fact) in the house. I did wonder why no-one noticed how odd that boy was behaving, but maybe it's that global reaction, "it's nothing to do with me". Terrible news that's affected everyone and moved so many to tears.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186491465911432817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-16185462940701039612012-12-17T09:42:58.710-05:002012-12-17T09:42:58.710-05:00Thanks for the links!
