That was the first time I met you and it was a very enjoyable afternoon! Hard to believe that it was eight years ago already.

Yay! For your forthcoming "Best Of" anthology, and the Planned Parenthood anthology!

Thanks to you I now know what JVP means.

About the last bit, I'm afraid you're right. From what I'm seeing, at least in the news, online newspaper articles, and political emails I get, the left is out of touch with the vast majority of people when it comes to certain issues, especially the economy, and the job market (what's available, the growth industries and the kind of training people need to fill those available positions), as well as wages. There are jobs in the service sector, but the wages are low, and often not enough to support a family.

This is what really bothered me with the Democrats last year. Bernie Sanders tried to address it. Ugh. I can't think about the Democratic convention without getting a headache. That's where it all went wrong, in my opinion.
