“Silently she stared at the splintered pieces and felt the flame in her soul gutter. The flame she had nurtured since she was a child.

“Future Politics
Effecting change in national politics was mostly a matter of making better use of online forums, encouraging voters to press forth with hard questions, providing statistics and solutions.
