Hell yeah!

I never had kids, never wanted kids. Have always pushed for education. As a stoner, was crazy excited about talk of legalization and taxes going to schools when the idea was first floated around by us. Happily. Hell yes.

And since enough dumbasses are actually putting forward enough effort to show there is a frighteningly high backing for a candidate that will prevent any presidential voting in the future, I'm gonna have to break my record and vote for one of the major 2 parties for this election.

One of these 2 WILL WIN THE US ELECTION. There is no pretending that, this close to polling date, that there is any other outcome.

We need to start locally and push harder for reforms from there up. Only one of the 2 party systems will allow this in our future at the moment. This is just the sad and horrible truth we face at the moment.

If we really think the system has failed us and will not let us break free of the 2 party bullshit, well, then we need to be better educated and better organized. We have internet and advanced messaging technology. Our past is riddled with those who made amazing changes and voiced mass public opinion with way less.

Knowledge is power. Protect and enhance the education to really power change.

Probably true, since they are a bunch of cowards without their guns and anonymity.

It's in Tempe, which is a college town and usually a lot more "variety of ideas friendly" area. It's a big ass state, not gone down the rabbit hole of how gerrymandered we might be, but I'm listed in a town by address that is nowhere near where my "local" library, grocery, etc which is another town.

There is a lot of wild west expanse and geriatric retirement that keeps a red hold, Tempe isn't far from Phoenix downtown where I went to a fucking awesome Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Linda's concert last week. I was quite impressed at the the number of both old and young punks that showed up and packed the place! Openly anti trump remarks through the show... not too many left early even, despite the traffic... hmmm...

And, this shit was done overnight, who the hell did they think they might get, janitorial staff? Random underpaid security guard? What fucking dickbags man. Random violence is bad, putting people just doing their jobs, regardless of political affiliation, is just really poor form.

I saw the negativity points to your remark, which should generally be "well yeah... it's the wild red west?!" Thought some of this may shed a light on that response?

(And, wanted to squeeze in that my old ass stayed up for a whole Green Day show, on a school night!)

Edit: btw, I live in bfe, no way in hell am I putting on a bumper sticker or a sign in my yard. Out of town, there's lots of crazies with guns. Edit, edit: fixed a, guess half of a sentence got typed... elsewhere?

I lived there for almost a decade, about a decade and a half ago. It was so run down and dying then. People wouldn't come see us there that we had known all our lives because it was so dangerous. Pizza places wouldn't deliver down our street, we would have to walk to the main corner to get delivery. We paid a crack head to watch our house while we were away for a weekend.

I was in disbelief back when I heard about the factories deciding to build there after we had up and left... finally, after barely scraping enough together from living and working there. I wondered how they would fare but didn't follow up on it then.

I researched and verified everything you said above, and informed some other family on Fb, that was trying to stir the shit. They would hear none of it.

I never realized they were a breed till we got one. He's so different than his "brothers and sisters" -no realtions, but we got 5 currently. Started looking up his description to see if others had anything similar, like the orange one brain cell boys or something. Found out i had a Nebelung.

This is really awesome! I saw your post the other day about it and thought it was a great idea. You work quick! I already found a new community I would not have thought to look for otherwise.

It is hard for me to see and manipulate on mobile, but that's totally on me. So I'll be back in a bit. I'm sure someone smarter than me may have more helpful input than that if you are looking for feedback!

So I thought I was gonna head to bed, but... guess I can stay up and peruse for a little while...

Thank you!!

On the jury, being shown some video evidence....
