WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

On Corporations and Government - Go Figure!

My Cuz Joe Lyles said this so well on Facebook that I asked for permission to share it here:
Multi-national corporations move jobs offshore, ask for bailouts when they take too much risk and fail, bribe foreign officials, repossess homes, lie in advertising, pay their executives obscene amounts of pay & benefits, pollute our world, screw their shareholders, addict us to deadly cigarettes, sell us defective products, make tons of money on weapons and we hate the Government? 
It's unfortunate that people seem to resent Gov't regulations, no matter how reasonable, yet don't mind being manipulated by business. People hate to be told that they can't drive their trucks on the turtle nests in the sand dunes, for example, but don't mind being unable to buy a truck that gets good gas mileage or protects them in a wreck from serious injury. Go figure!
