Md. woman sues NRA after boyfriend removed her from his will before committing suicide by Richard Reeve/ABC7 Thursday, December 21st 2017 HAGERSTOWN, Md. (ABC7) —  A Hagerstown woman is suing the National Rifle Association, saying her longtime live-in boyfriend was mentally ill when he removed her from his will, was arrested for threatening to kill her son, and replaced her in the will with an NRA foundation before he committed suicide with a shotgun. Stormy Morse says Lewis Tabler Jr. was swindled by foundation attorneys into giving up his $500,000 in life savings. Foundation attorneys dispute that, saying he told them he didn’t want her “to receive a dime” of his retirement plan.

A tale of two democracies, India and USA

Dear Friend, This was one of the most eventful and traumatic days in recent history in two of the most powerful democracies in the world. The president of the 'democratic' USA called Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shitholes countries”. This is the lowest a democracy can get.  In India, the most populous 'democracy' in the world, four Supreme Court judges publicly spoke against the Chief Justice of India and his way of functioning. It is unprecedented in India. Perhaps, things like this never happened any other democratic country. Unlike the Trump 'shithole' it gives an iota of hope. It gives us hope that at least there are some responsible persons in India who are ready to stand up for real democracy. They publicly said "democracy in India is at stake". It really is. It is the responsibility of all democratic minded persons to stand up for justice.  People yearn for alternatives to industrial agriculture, but they are worri...
