Now that it's officially halftime in America, perhaps we will see some changes soon. In the meantime, those of us who are struggling through, battling against or just doing our best still need to spread the love on the most romantic holiday of the year (well, apart from Groundhog Day, anyway). Here, then, are ten sentiments that might find their way into a Valentine's Day card sent by some of the more passionate members of the non-one-percent.

Others are blue.
Either way, we lose
And the Constitution too.
Vote Libertarian.
Much like that Taser blast on that unwarranted charge.
"Love is not responsible for the irresponsible." - Me
OWS is blue
I hate wasting my tax dollars
Cleaning up after you.
Though our noses be red,
And our toeses be blue.
If you don’t mend your ways,
We will Occupy U.
V. X.
Though your noses be red,
And your toeses be blue,
Come camp on my lawn,
I'll protect my property from you.
Though our noses are red,
and our toeses are blue.
If you don't give us everything for free,
we will throw a tantrum.
I am not rich. Nor am I poor...though I have been that. I'm getting sooooo bored with how everything at HuffPo is now "occupy" this or "occupy" that. It's called OVERKILL. And sorry, but I'm not a number or a percentage or a category. I am NOT "the 99 percent." Indeed, I find common cause with perhaps 10% of the sorry human species...if that. I'm watching the 90-odd percent walking, running, skipping enthusiastically toward a global collapse by around 2050 or so that will result in a massive dieback of humanity, along with many other species. So, no, please don't include me in your calculations. There are some wealthy folks who are noble, clean, intelligent and engaged in promoting the general welfare of this planet; there are LOTS of not-so-rich who are ignorant, fanatical, trashy, unmotivated, and drably common.
