Oh dear, oh dear…it could all be much worse. At least there are no fisticuffs here at FDL … unlike here:

Robert Browning, “Rabbi Ben Ezra”:
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith “A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!” -

MDCitizen commented on the blog post FDL Movie Night: Hot Coffee
So delighted to see this!! I’m not a lawyer but was a legal secretary for many years. “Tort Reform” terrifies me. The only thing some people (and corporations are legally people) understand is a financial hit. I see plaintiffs’ attorneys as the last best defenders of we the people – who bleed and have limited life spans – against corporate people. How many times have I typed “the duration of the corporation shall be perpetual…” Best of luck to you and thank you so much!

We always soak our turkey in red wine.
Just red wine? Anything else? Any particular kind of red wine? I’m fond of red wine and I’m not cooking for children this year.

MDCitizen commented on the diary post Pioneering Women War Correspondents by On The Issues Magazine.
We learn from the stories of others…sort of. Either Dickey Chappelle or Margaret Bourke-White told of being on a ship that got torpedoed, and having to decide whether to abandon ship with an extra can of rations or an extra roll of film. She figured that it takes 30 days to starve, but if she [...]

MDCitizen commented on the diary post Government Spending is a Parasite on the Private Economy by ohioralph.
I appreciate the trolls, because FDL people far smarter than I am reply to them and explain why their arguments are specious. Let trolls use their first amendment rights to speak and let other people use their first amendment rights to respond.
This post was ridiculous, but the responses were, mostly, brilliant.
Thanks so much.

MDCitizen commented on the blog post FDL needs YOU to Score Congress!
Would there be any way to link this scoring to FDL’s existing public groups? Where there are many people in a congressional district, maybe they could divide up the issues so that even issues that are not big news could be covered, thereby lessening the chances that slimey “little” pieces of legislation could go unnoticed. Public comment periods have a way of expiring before folks know what is in the works. A particularly diabolical piece of work that comes to mind is NAIS – the National Animal Identification System (http://nonais.org/).

MDCitizen commented on the diary post Jobs, Salaries, Careers by dakine01.
Actually, I remember from working in a law firm that some legal work has been off-shored for some years now.
For example: http://www.prismlegal.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=88&Itemid=70

MDCitizen commented on the blog post “Let them eat their own Goodwill Store bootstraps!”
The Angelfood website makes special mention of assistance to military families. With all the tax money going to defense, military personnel are not paid enough to feed their families? It is vile enough that anyone goes hungry here in America, but it seems to me that Ayn Rand’s enlightened self interest (let alone common decency) would dictate making sure that the military is well cared for.
If an army marches on its stomach, no wonder we’ve been Afghanistan for 10 years. -

And if you don’t die young, there is an excellent chance that you will end up under the care of members of the SEIU…if that union ever gets its act together.

MDCitizen commented on the diary post Legal Evil? In their own words – Part 1 of 3 by Don Mashak.
The quoted section about judges acting maliciously and corruptly is chilling.
I don’t mind starting here and linking to somewhere else, because I would never find somewhere else without FDL. Here is where it all begins.

MDCitizen commented on the diary post Take a good look at the meaning of “jobless” recovery by Liz Berry.
You are breaking my heart. I am long past having credit, but my 25 year old daughter, who is paying her own way through college, just called me, sobbing about her credit card bills and car note. She doesn’t waste a dime and she works so hard…

MDCitizen commented on the diary post Matriarchal Manifesta by pythia.
I signed (#103)and sent this to my daughters, sisters, etc. Most of us know men whom we love and whom we think are reasonable people. However, just look what is going on all over the world and who is doing it. How obvious must the obvious be before we notice and act upon it?
