After the GOP Congress finishes wasting its time trying to repeal the ACA ("Obamacare" for non-Americans who may not know that the plan has an actual name) and trying to impeach the President for wearing a tan suit or giving a sloppy salute while holding a coffee cup or whatever other silly-assed "reason" they might invent, we can watch the GOP try to dismantle Social Security. I don't know if anyone has noticed but those in favor of dismantling Social Security never mention refunding the money that Americans have paid into the program -- and even if the money was refunded, what would become of the matching contributions from employers? To me, that's part of my earned compensation. You can almost bet that employers will want their contributions returned to them, though. Plus, would citizens be required to invest in the casinos of Wall Street instead? If so, that's absolutely no different from being required to buy health insurance under the ACA. I have no idea what voters are thinking, or even if they're thinking at all. I wrote today on Facebook that I wasn't going to allow the results of the elections to affect me, but as my high from a week in Cozumel is regrettably now wearing off I find myself disheartened by the Americans who seem to want to take the country back to 1954 in terms of government intrusion into our private lives (reproductive rights, LGBT equality, et cetera). I'm really not surprised by the election results because midterm elections don't bring out the votes, but I am deeply disappointed just the same. Honestly, I would trade my US citizenship right now to any Mexican who wants to trade me their citizenship. This isn't the first time I've felt this way but the feeling is stronger than ever.

Nearly, passing (losing by under 2%) was Initiative 92 which would have meant labeling of GMO foods, so an impressive stand. It is going to happen...just a question of when. Perhaps in two years.

Jonifest Bob, Sounds wonderful!!! Count me in with a friend as it unfolds.

I think the area will lend itself well to the format established by Ashara, Mikey, Dave and others. Schedule looking to be as follows: Thursday, September 3 arrival and informal open-mike playing (can be done at nearby Cork and Tap or if I secure a "compound" like we had at the last New Orleans fest) Friday & Saturday activities - there's a LOT of nearby hiking and outdoors opportunities, there are several museums and other sightseeing things of interest, Falls Park downtown has a myriad of locations to see and do, open to other suggestions as well. Friday night - would ideally like to have performances by Dave & Robin and Laurie if any or both is possible. Performance space - The Bohemian, that features a nice stage/sound system attached to a full restaurant bar with all options of food and drink. Saturday night - would love to have a potpourri of local musicians do a Joni tribute ala what Mike's done at The Howling Wolf. I've got some contacts and know folks who have more. Would love to have this event at the venue that USED to be the Handlebar and will be reopening soon. Sunday would be open for whatever; some folks will be heading home, whatever else people want to see and do in the area. That's about what I've put together so far. Definitely open to suggestions! I feel like it's time for me to pay back to the folks who have hosted in the past and Upstate SC does have a lot to offer.

That was an awesome read! I loved it! I didn't know Joni composed by ear and always wondered about that. I also like what was said about honesty and learning to feel. Definitely those are two things I get from Joni's work too, It is good to see Joni with her hair down. I think she's incredibly beautiful with it up or down. So, what's the buzz for the next Jonifest?
