BiPolar Bushido/Samurai Psychic Survival Part 2

This is a continuation of yesterday's post. I am processing a relationship that stopped before it started. Everything in our past makes us who we are today, for better or worse.

Well, from where I sit, allowing people to go hungry in this country so you can fish for votes among the rich is something much worse than looking weak.
