Freedompath comments on Mar 1, 2020:

This brought to mind...how my early indoctrination of the Baptist Religion help enslave me, at a time that I needed to care for my own well-being! I was able to bring my thinking about religion to my therapist and that changed me over time. Eventually, I existed religion all together, not because I was told to do so...I evolved out of it! But, my discussions about religion with my therapist made all the difference, as I have known no other place that I could bare my innards, and not be judged!

I certainly had noticed it. Anyone else?

I believe you need to get some professional care. People around us can affect our mood and understanding, but what you describe could easily be something coming up for you out of the ordinary. You need some outside support right now. Don’t be afraid of your emotions, even if the intensity feels overwhelming. Until you can get more help to sort this out, get out in nature and be sure that you are getting proper nutrition (fruits and veg and not junk foods) and plenty of water. I am sure others here may have some contact resources for you. Please check in here, when you feel we can help, but I do think that you need to get some personal professional support. This type of disruption can happen to anyone. Best of luck.

There does seem to be some intentional bashing of Bernie. It may be just the way certain people process things. The main thing that each of us needs to remember is to pay attention to what comes from reputable sorces and to not get caught up in what other people consider to be ‘bad marks’ against another person. Some people simply operate illogically. In my case, I have admired Bernie for years, so I have observed him over time and some of my judgement is based on that. But, I am still paying attention to the current events.

The border patrol problem is real and unless Americans ‘jack up’ the agency in charge...it will only get worse. I think that can only come with legal action, because little has happened to change the climate and behavior at the border, and want change while trump is in power. His actions have given them permission to be mean, hateful and uncaring. Except, they call it ‘tough’ on immigration. We are the ones who must do something!

Child hates parent... would you say anything?

Freedompath comments on Feb 24, 2020:

This is tricky...why does the child hate its parent? Is there abuse involved? I do not think it will be that helpful to tell the parent. Back in the day, when I had small children, I understood so little about the emotional nature of mine or anyone else’s children...that is why I don’t think it will help much. I would encourage the child to explain why he hates his/her parent. And, it could be that the child has misinterpreted actions meant to keep him/her safe. And this might be delivered without care and tenderness. So the child believes he/she is not a good child/person. A child needs a balance of correcting with love and acceptance. The situation that you have brought here is not easily sorted out. A lot more information is needed. But, there is no good reason for you to not show love and appreciation to this child. And if you see where you can help this child to understand his feelings of hate toward the parent, then help the child. Maybe, you should stay alert to see if there is abuse happening here and if so, you would need to report that.

I AM a practical person...my vote would be based on Bernie’s history that I have observed over his political career. But, I have not written my opinions about political parties in stone! However, after observing the Republicans for the past 50 years, I want vote for them now, because I see how they make decisions...they are greedy to a political fault! As for the opinion above...I read it, I thought about it’s content and meaning and I disagree with it. There is NO perfect person...to choose for any political position, but I believe in Bernie’s overall operating capacity for sensible solutions to government problems.

Why are we letting him destroy the USA?

Freedompath comments on Feb 24, 2020:

It must be that nothing of trump’s magnitude has ever held such a powerful position in this Country! So there is no known strategy to put into practice that can remove this lunatic from his grip on seemingly complete control. That will change and I hope sooner than later!
