I share your frustration, concern, angst, anger, and all the rest of it. I've been blogging about it for years as well as trying to talk with others, and the situation is actually getting worse: the totalitarian war-mongers and plutocratic thieves are succeeding at increasing pace, matched only by the speed and depth of the nation's somnambulance. Is it being poorly educated, being poorly informed, being unable to discern, not caring, moral lassitude, or spiritual numbness? Okay, don't answer that. I am quite upset with the nation's people, and don't even talk to me about their leadership. I just happened to be at that point in the Douglass book "JFK and the Unspeakable" when he wounds me again with the memory and the statement that, while we were in shock that weekend -- me at the age of 15 away at boarding school watching the elders -- and Douglass telling us what we know now -- that the nation's security agencies were busy fashioning the cover-up. The nation was put to sleep. Did the US Air Force dust the atmosphere with propofol? We not only fell asleep for the surgery, it was painless and we forgot that it took place.
