So we are told they will slow it down to decide but the governor of ND has sent in the National Guard, the police are full armed, and they are arresting more of the peaceful demonstrators. So the reporter who photographed the dog attacks is going to be arrested but the attackers not. What has gone wrong with our country? Very depressing.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-5111600746616844702016-09-14T15:34:35.169-07:002016-09-14T15:34:35.169-07:00Last weekend made me so sad.

People need jobs that support a healthy lifestyle and a feeling of respect. By so many of us living in clusters like ourselves and isolating ourselves from the <i>other</i> we don't even know what is happening to so many in our country.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-68739983683250641712016-09-14T07:10:17.354-07:002016-09-14T07:10:17.354-07:00Small earthquakes' of change needed.
