9. Now *there's* an idea
I haven't gone on record about the I/P brew-ha-ha mainly because other than an excuse to draw us into a wider conflict, it doesn't mean jack to our situation, in fact it's a distraction. A highly effective one, but a distraction none.the.less.

Instead of investigations into war crimes, we get new legislation attempting to retroactively vindicate the guilty, under the radar, out of the news cycle which is consumed with tragedy barely impacting our day to day lives.

Instead of leadership we get shucking and jiving support for republicans incognito abusing our party name and giving spinectomes to anyone who would stand up and stand still long enough for the operation. Thanks to Russ for not standing still.

Instead of honest journalism we get sensationalism, lies and damned lies to distract us from what we can do, here, now, and when we finally manage to pull something off in the face of the obstructionist leadership, we get lied to about what just happened as well.

I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired it makes me want to make a list of all those who must be punished, and set about implementing the punishment. I might as well devote myself to that because resources we could have used to achieve the greatness we could have attained has been stolen. We have been set back nearly 80 years financially, and environmentally both literally on earth and figuratively in the labor markets.

Yeah, I have been ignoring I/P as so much noise so I would indeed like to know what happens at such a party, maybe they would agree with me. Unlikely, but I can dream can't I?

Sign the petition.
