Congratulations!!!! I love your gentle, no-nonsense approach to telling it like it is. Thank you for continuing to be a beacon of hope and reason in an increasingly insane world.

And occasionally not so gentle!

True - always rational, even if intense.

I would so like to see a recent video of you, talking about how you’re doing and who you’re now working with. If you’re willing to do that, please let your readers know where they can go to see it. And more of those Rather sayings coming back, and some you may not have shared yet. “Two yellow lines, and hundreds of dead armadillos.” “My mind is like lightning: one brilliant flash, and it’s gone.” “As you slide down the banister of life.“ “I remember when every day started with me gathering my wallet and keys. Now those might as well be in witness protection.” “To an age where I don’t even buy green bananas anymore.“ “The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you’re in the bathroom.“ Thanks, Terry

Thanks for providing a forum which prints fair comments on events. So much of the media, both print and broadcast, is politically tied up, it is refreshing to participate in one which is not so encumbered. Keep up the great work.

I couldn't agree more, Mickey! The matter-of-fact tone and the clear, though often gentle way of telling the truth is what is needed more and more.

You and your group are to be thanked. Sane reporting, now there’s a concept! I trust you - with all the corporate media out there, it’s wonderful to read some common sense!

Now, let's hope that WE outnumber THEM when it's time to vote....

Congratulations gentlemen. Your material is always thought provoking and timely.

Our political system is screaming for reform. We desperately need publicly funded campaigns at all levels. We need to have all politicians calendars publicly available so we know who they are meeting with. We need to halt all financial trading by publicly elected officials and high level appointees.

And of course we need to work to turn out people that will chose democracy over vengeance and authoritarianism.
