Maybe not exposing them, but definitely saying that their presence, and how that happened, should be questioned. Our country is under attack, within and from outside. We need a better understanding of what's happening but no political party has the will to do so. That's worrying.

Since we can't get rid of them, by understanding whom they are we can at least know our owners instead of blinldly following them like sheep..

Like cancer they are.

We can not remove them but we can hate them. No matter how bad that sounds, it's better than being a sheep.

The Democratic Alliance put me through so much hell that I went through a door, somehow transformed into someone unable to hate anymore. Maybe because I lived in bad for so long it became normal. However, I will never forgive.

Sorry Mike. Hate is a rather useless word. Rebellious and a deep realization that I am prey to these folks should give host to a better word. Do loins hate hyenas? Perhaps not maybe recognizing them as a natural enemy, is all I needed to do.

Thanks.

Emotions are good and bad like everything else. Hate can cloud, or it can be a motivator. I like your animal analogy. I wish more humans would regain their primeval instinct for identifying their enemy.

Great investigating. Can you tell us who sponsors The Big Debate and who Ben Cashdan is?

I would love to know who sponsors that and so much more. It's impossible for me to believe its independent. I haven't thought about Cashdan but will make a note on my too-long list that's shorter than my too many thoughts.
