Cy,

I don’t think Bill Mahar sold-out as much as he’s just not responsible for/to anyone but himself. Some men ARE islands. It remains there are truths to be reaped from a season’s productions with adequate listening.

E,

I agree. Tho more a lifer-politician than a lifetime policy maker such as Bernie Sanders, President Obama was Whigged/bottlenecked from day one and yet remained an honorable President, husband, and father. Am I pleased with the America that came from 8 yrs. of the man’s presidency? No. He maintained: WAR.

Dan,

Well said, Dan.

Pete,

On the holistic/medicinal herb, immigration, the notorious bottleneck (GOP), peripherally: industrial prison system, textiles/pharma machinations, outright accomplice-pop-antagonism of POTUS, I agree.

Heath,

Heath. I’ve been reading your prose poetry for years. More than a decade. And I jammed while your son lit up the room with his electric guitar virtuosity and more than a mere performer’s charms. You keep at it with your finger on the pulse of US. You keep at it and we’ll shoulder up with our own keeping at it.
