How many of you Viners are clicking your way to your page and then glance up at your Conversation Tracker and then let out what seems like a "defeated sigh," because you're just wondering what to do next? How many of you want to write something and yet your emotions and feelings …

No matter if you like him or not... things are rolling. I feel as though he's a heavy stone column rolling down the green grassy hill ready to stand tall when the moment is right, but who knows when that will be.

As I'm typing in the words to this thoughtful piece, there's a CBS News Special beginning to pop up on the screen, it sits, waits, never amounts to anything and then disappears. How fitting for me. Is this how the world is treating the threat of N.

Domestic violence shelters were unknown to me although I was married to a police officer for eight years. That's right, I was married to the LAW who was an abusive and cruel person right from the beginning of our relationship although I was too brainwashed to know better.

It seems like only yesterday that I visited the small cramped office of the Pastor. Books, papers and torn envelopes were everywhere you turned and there wasn't much room to turn there.

Yeah, I am an insomniac. I'm up every night because I just can't sleep. I can't turn off my brain for long - three hours sometimes four at the most. The channel I choose for background noise is determined by the lottery system.

We had stories on torture and comments on torture. We've had votes on torture and articles on end about torture. We had a mother leaving her bickering kids on the side of the road which they considered to be torture that they had to walk three miles to get home.

I hope you change your mind! You were right, and are! There are trolls everywhere. The venom that was coming off of those few people says it all. It's their problem, not yours! Your one of the good guys! Don't let the nut cases chase you away!

I belive in you, because you belive in others
