If I accepted the mainstream's definitions, I would also have viewed yesterday as coming up short. But, then again, if I thought their view accurately defined all possibilities, I would not be supporting the Sanders revolution. But, alas, I've spent my entire life convinced that there is a better way.

And it is so encouraging to hear from people like you and Mountain Granny, sane voices that convince me that we are on the right track.
