Metaphor: (Us vs. them) The People's Responsible Government For The People By The People vs. corporate controlled private interests who have been doing their manipulative criminal best to steal what's rightfully ours in order to dominate us, and how this incredibly frustrating; potentially crazy-making, heartbreaking and unhealthy dynamic resembles the alchoholic family structure. The corporate criminals being the insane "alcoholics," and The People being the inevitable in-response "alanonics."

This woman is AMAZING.. Her speech was/is so powerful! I was there at the rally for all of the many incredible speakers, all of whom I felt moved, inspired, enriched, and motivated by. This woman in particular said it all so beautifully, as though she was speaking words right out of my mind & mouth (though I do not yet have a P.H.D. nor the title of a mother to children...) We share a similar way of thinking about things it seems; like-minded. I have linked and spoken of that same metaphor.

Best metaphor of the day! She's really incredible. What a great day!
