A person takes shady employment. Needs to be willing to kill. Meets employer and another & kills the other. Turns out that wasn't the mark, but an ally. Employer decides, "what the hell,' hires person. The murder makes the job tricker, and comes back to haunt them later.

A broad outline of the society I feel most people could agree to.

People should not go hungry or be homeless. They should have have equal access to justice under the law. They should have access to health care. Free education should be available to all.

The vast majority of people should see their incomes slowly increase. They do not have enough voice in our political processes. Labor unions need to become a force again. Speech and money need to be divorced by law.

The rich need to taxed equitably. Wealth as well as income should be taxed. Outrageous salaries should be taxed at 90% or more. Large estates should be significantly taxed upon death.

Well, here it is 2014. And nearly half way through. Held a birthday party, only my second? party hosted here in fourteen years. Had a good time until I stood on a live coal (barefoot). Had a good time after, but my foot sure hurt. Kept the blister intact so the old skin is still protecting the new skin, it should heal well.
