The summary below of the bridge tragedy has its good points, and you should be able to access it by use of the link.

That said, this is TRUE, too.

POINT: IT was NOT the arms race that brought down the USSR; it was CHERNOBYL. The Soviet republics simply could not BEAR the breakdown of their infrastructure that happened as Mother Russia looked the "other way", putting NO resources into maintaining health and safety while obsessed with the goal of breaking down the US.

Now the Dysfunctional Dad, the US is getting its turn to be exposed as the shithead "parent" it is ..

In the Soviet case, the WOMEN ROSE UP -- in ARMS -- and kicked the Soviets OUT. What do you supposed the most probable next scenario is for the US ..?

I am most truly sorry about the tragedy in Minnesota; but I DO KNOW what I would be doing were I in MInnesota TODAY, which is organizing people, women specifically and telling them the whole awful story that lead to that Tipping Point, and encouraging them to ACT OUT!
