Mary, you have come to the right place to scream about all of them. Sorry for all your troubles, and you seem to have had many. The government gives less than a rat's a*s about any of us as long as we keep working and sweating and sending in that healthy 'donation' known as income tax. What the heck, they are going to get theirs no matter what. The clergy is a mess and those 'God-fearing' folk who are scamming congregations are fixing to get theirs when they meet their maker. They make me believe in hell and it is populated by THEM! If hypocrisy is truly a sin, a lot of those guys had better watch out; they are on St. Peter's watch list. I will not get used to it. Not now, not ever. What I will do is turn my back on the political parties like they have turned their backs on us. Corporations have bought out the entire political system and it has sold us down the river to pander to them. Corporate lobbyists and special interests run the show. The government is just worried about which country it will invade next in its quest to empire build; it leaves domectic policy to the corporate greed demons. If the crooks can't get their hands on your credit card number or checking or savings account number, they'll just pack some made up crap onto your phone bill. Nine thousand ways to commit fraud and the government is blind to every one of them. We had eight years of Democrats followed by four year of Republicans and none of them give a d**n about the citizens of this country. Both parties are guilty of forgetting what their d**n jobs are. I am sick of being bent over and loaded like Grandpa's old shotgun wherever I go. I don't even have to leave the house to get robbed anymore. They will get me via my own computer! I figure the best way to deal with this is to vote. But I will never vote for either a Democrat or a Republican again...EVER! Green Party, Libertarian, whoever else shows up on the ballot will get my vote from now on. Satan himself would get my vote this year if he were the only other candidate. At least there would be no doubt about whwere he stood. Perhaps enough people will get fed up in the coming years to do the same and a real change will be made at last. Meanwhile, I will be thumbing my nose at 'them' in the voting booth every four years. I will not be a Corporate Government work mule forever! (Uh, I thought screwing around with someone's mailbox or post office box was a federal offense? Or is it only an offense when they say it is or want it to be?)
