Dear BipolaRnurse, I am very glad you are a person who "gets it" about this term. Sigh....my brother has said about some of the issues I get worked u p about (not this one -- he doesn't know about it anyway) "Maybe you need to drop working on this particular issue. There are much more important/urgent needs we need to focus on." Well, I guess he's right. I'm working on the issue of homelessness/low-low-income housing shortage and the current administration's budget plans -- which likely will pass into reality -- to destroy our many safety nets, as well as our 123,000 public libraries, and so much more.
