Sunday

But, if I am to get any aid from anywhere, it has to come from those same people who are demanding that I do just that.

I fought and complained about the system my entire life. This is there price I have paid for wanting to make things better for everyone, not just the wealthy and those who worship them.

I guess that was a stupid thing to do. I should have just kissed the bloated capitalistic ass and kept my lips firmly planted there.

I would have felt filthy and sub-human, but I would not be where I am now.
