Why I am NOT writing. By Geniusofdespair



I really hate writing for this blog now. I think because government: County, State and Federal is just so very bad, embarrassingly bad.  I feel like I am always looking away -- as if there is a dead rat on the sidewalk and I don't want to barf. How much can you look away? But when I don't, it just makes me crazy. We have a Bizarro world filled with hater, xenophobic, racist people. I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime... 

Everyone I research has skeletons in their closet. I can’t do it anymore, it sucks my optimism gene dry.

Go back to local politics! I miss the posts about South Florida's towns and cities.

Thanks for all you have done for us. For our family, we are now going to plan B.....sell everything and get out of the country if and when we have to. My optimism is now going in a new direction.

When I do research I uncover disheartening things, in searches of all candidates. Just too depressing.

I know. When we vote, there really should be the option for us to chose none of the above.

You and Alan are trying to tackle too much. Stick more to what you can influence, like the mess and the totally broken and pathetic environmental protection system supposedly in place in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the Keys in general. That process is totally broken, no one is paying any attention, and your investigative reporting can have a huge influence. You're trying to save the world and that's bit of a big bite.

Pay attention to the Keys.

oh, its always darker just before the light. Things can get worse, the best thing about notional politics is how much the base of the left is energized. To become disheartened is exactly what the other side, the polluters, the lobbyists, the entrenched officials want.
Don't fall for it, you been at this a very long time but we need you, I need you, everybody needs you and this blog...
Come back to us!!!

Political science has become the new evil science that makes Machiavelli and Stalin proud.

We love you for the good you bestow and write about. It has the strong currents of what you think is right. Your mission has and is to tell the in-depth correctness---research of what we tax payers don't know about politicians, shady characters, and wanna-be make-believers. Please stay on the high road, "you make our day."

You’ll get your mojo back. When a topic grabs you the need to vent returns. This is a strong platform.

Really Cut the Woes ME CRAP! Politics been a dirty business ince the first guy who ran a cave accepted a sheepskin for favoring one club wielding troglodyte over another.
It's the human condition its been around for millenia and will be around long after the worms have feasted on us and shit us out their anuses (or your ashes have disintegrated).
NOW GET BACK ON THAT KEYBOARD AND GIVE US.........whatever turns you on, and hopeful;ly turns us on or gives us a rise, while were still breathing.
