OH YES.

to all of the above!

I'm so glad!

This is the heartening part -- seeing communities react in practical ways and simply with love and good will.

It's a combination of things, yes. The fact that so many of political representatives view their first loyalty to their donors is a great problem. When you're overruling the wishes of your constituency because that's not what your special interest donors want, well, that's not democracy. It's democrazy.

Also, I really admire that you are forcing yourself outside your comfort zone. Congratulations!

Hello, Philipp,

Welcome! I'm so happy you decided to join the conversation. No worries about grammar or phrasing, we're an international crew here. :-)

That's an interesting mix of my titles. I can see your perspective will add a lot to our discussions!

Is it a genetic immunity that is building up fast the more it's tested?

I've been working it out myself. It did work although not as smoothly as expected, but then Cosmo is out of practice. Was John maybe not quite sure what happened until Cosmo tried it again? He doesn't have perfect recall because he does put it down to hypnotism, but then he doesn't believe in magic, so he would.

Exactly!

Partly that could be the way love spells work--the rules of casting them. There is no possibility of it sticking if there is no possibility that real love could exist.

But that's not how most magic works.

OR IS IT?

Yeah, no, it's not.

:-D

Well, yeah. There is a strong connection and a hope that there will be something more. But there are obvious challenges to a HEA. :-D

**snort**

Another mass shooting within 14 hours of the last one and people are screaming on Twitter AMERICANS YOU'RE SO STUPID!!! when the fact of the matter is MOST Americans are all for safer, smarter gun laws.

Until paid lobbyists are out of the political picture--which means we have to consistently elect people not bought and paid for by special interest money--nothing will ever change.

It's just...depressing.

Well, I mean, there is STILL the option of watching fish in a tank. :-D Not like fish are a thing of the past.

I guess its the modern equivalent of watching fish in a tank.
