oH PLEASE,LET'S PUT IT BEHIND US ALL! 
NONE OF US, particularly me!" Can change anything. Forget the politics! No
matter how you feel? None of you are going to change anything "TODAY!"
If the sun happens to be shining? Nip outside and give yourself a moment
assignment to look for an image? GO CLICK! IT'S A BEAUTY! SMILE! GO AND POST
IT! :-)
We'll smile, pat you on the back whomever you are and we'll quietly slip
back into our normal life of being "HAPPY SNAPPING PHOTOGS!"  
THANK YOU ALL! 
cheers, 
Dr. Ted Grant C.M.  CANADA MEDAL.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Of course I earn my living doing photography. The work I post here is not
my commercial work. Its not very interesting, but it pays the bills. I
don’t expect anyone here to buy my prints, but when you come on here
telling me what I SHOULD be photographing, then you need to pay me for
working for you. Since you aren’t hiring me, I will continue to shoot and
post what I want and if you don’t like it that’s just too damned bad.
