What's Right And Good Doesn't

Unless You're Willing To Fight And Refight The Same Battles Until You Go Blue In The Face, Drive The People You Work With Nuts Going Over Every Detail To Make Certain You've Got It Right, And Then Take Hit After Unfair Hit Accusing You Of Bias, There's No Use Even Trying. You Have To Love It, And I Do. You Just Hope It Strikes A Spark Somewhere In The Critical Mass Of Public Opinion And Helps Some People To Resist Further The Seductions Of Political And Corporate Advertising.

Conservatives Or Better, Pro-corporate Apologists Hijacked The Vocabulary Of Jeffersonian Liberalism And Turned Words Like "progress," "opportunity," And "individualism" Into Tools For Making The Plunder Of America Sound Like Divine Right.

Bush As The Seminal Age Of Inspiration For Politics And Governance Of America Today.

Having Lost Faith In All Else, Zealots Have Nothing Left But A Holy Cause To Please A Warrior God. They Win If We Become Holy Warriors, Too; If We Kill The Innocent As They Do; Strike First At Those Who Had Not Struck Us; Allow Our Leaders To Use The Fear Of Terrorism To Make Us Afraid Of The Truth; Cease To Think And Reason Together, Allowing Others To Tell What's In God's Mind.

I'm Angry At What's Happening To America And Angry With Myself That I Can't Do More. I Would Be Miserable If I Couldn't Bear Witness.

The Delusional Is No Longer Marginal.
