Cheers! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Don't lose hope! It's one of the few things we have.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about assange. It was disappointing that Trump didn't pardon him, but again there are some reasons that may be valid as to why. There may be an order of events that needs to occur. Not sure yet. He's definitely not the same man as he was before belmarsh.

Here's hoping next year is better than this one has been.
