    I do NOT consider the paranoia peddlers that seem so popular these days among the things that are good about the USA. They are a cancer. Turn off the TV, and unplug it from the wall. You will thank me later.

    and just who exactly are the "paranoia peddlers?"

    When it comes to national elections in the US we're seeing LITERALLY billions of dollars and the most influential avenues of power on the planet up for grabs. If you don't think there are people engaged in some very dishonest, underhanded, illegal immoral behaviors then you're delusional. The whole of human history is rife with examples of such behavior in the quest of power and money.

    There's literally an entire industry dedicated to that garbage, and I'm certain you're aware of it. So then, I assume the true nature of your question is rhetorical, and the reason for asking is to challenge me, since you felt challenged by my previous statement.

    Perhaps we all allow ourselves to be deluded in certain ways.

    The name of the political game since Machiavelli's day is, "Divide and Conquer". Let that sink in.

    What I love about FHC, is that in spite of all the political division that may exist in the country today, I can come here and be reminded that we've all got a lot more in common than the politicos would have you believe.

    What garbage? The only specifics I saw were references to rigged elections and then that being called paranoia. Why is it paranoid to think that there are people trying to rig the elections when we all know that's exactly what's happening?

    Sunset at Lake Erie. That little dot in the center of the picture is the American flag flying on the end of the pier.

    I believe we all, in this FHC are living and breathing a true testament to the very principals of what made the great country. Independance in the form of heating and gardening and be prepared to provide for ourselves in the spirit of taking care of our loved ones and neighbors is what made, and makes this country what is. We all know what the political system is, out of whack. But we all in our own small part, do the best to foster the spirit of individual liberty and personal responsiblity the makes us all caretakers of the beliefs handed down to us by those who sacrificed so much. God bless you all. Live Free or Die.
