I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Attempting To Get An Answer

From anybody with editor behind their name at the local fishwrapper. I'm so sick of this shit I tell you. I'm embarrassed that so many who live in this country are plain fucking stupid and what's worse they're proud of it and even fucking worse than that-they are breeding and we're not and with the help of many teh stupid grows worse. The question that was asked.

Twice this week in the Mallard Fillmore "cartoon" the number of protestors recently in DC was put at 2,000,000. Also recently the same "cartoon” implied that President Obama was going to kill people's grandmothers.

In respect to grandmothers nothing could be farther from the truth. The DC numbers is also a falsehood with the real count somewhere around 70,000. Not only were these numbers inflated to the point of absurdity pictures of this event were photo shopped or totally replaced with another from a different time.

In all seriousness my question is short-how can you condone the use of outright lies in your paper? I very much want to know that from each of you that are being asked this.

There are no outs for any of you because this is a “cartoon” and the cartoonist is a black man. This is something more than that and goes to the very core of why so many in this country believe the lies something your paper participates in.

Seriously once again-how can you do this? Convince me that you are doing the right thing.

Whatever

    Many times in this life revelations or heightened awareness hits like a hammer to the thumb; other times not so much. I stumbled across a great little film called " Waking Life" by Richard Linklater. One of the characters says this jem: " The role of the media has never been to eliminate evil or to expose and right, wrongs. It merely functions to make us all observers and passive acceptors of these phenomena as the trajedies playout." As a former journalist, wanna be essayist and jouster of windmills; some real and some imagined, the saddest moment of my short career in the newspaper business was when I came to realize the above quote accurately described my chosen profession to a T. That was 25 years ago and the "newspaper business" has only gotten more rotten.
