Thank you for making the solution simple. A thoughtful read this Memorial morning and remembering those who were GOOD Americans acting heroically in preserving our freedom.

Whick, that was something that needed to be said and you said it in words even the dizzy Republicans have a chance of understanding. It was plain and simple, powerful and well written. The convicted criminal is hell-bent is on making America into his Burger King likeness and doing some dirty dancing on the Constitution. We have problems we can't ignore and the biggest one is sitting in the Oval Office.

Clear and powerful and "plain talking." And in addition to doing good, I like this from the late Robin Williams: "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Bless you Mark.

Thank you. This is the best writing I've read about where we are as a country... and what we should aspire to be.

You were great about being good. I don't care about politics or party. I do expect our elected leaders to have two very clear focuses: Take care of the planet, and take care of the people on it. Everything else is power and greed. Alas, I am forever naive. Great work.

As usual Mark, you break down an issue into something easy to understand, take a colossal mess that gets worse by the day, with alternatives that produce a much better outcome, and you do it with the recipe of facts, humor, logic, and a pinch of sarcasm.

On the day we set aside every year to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice upholding the very freedoms being threatened, attacked, and abused, your thoughtful message is needed to keep up the charge and push back against the growing cancer infiltrating that Shining City On The Hill.

Thank you.
