I live, work and love wherever I hang my hat, which at present is in the U.S. I am a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and Choctaw.

I don‘t want a barter economy, especially since I have nothing physical to barter for necessities, unless you count the endless reams of paper I can [...]
Most American citizens believe that voters elect our state and federal legislators. They would be wrong. Elections are rigged by the massive amounts of money that fund them, and legislators are bought and sold in accordance with their campaign fund contributors. This money does not come from you or me. We could never hope to [...]
