Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

My Dime -- is it just me, or are we actually seeing some good old-fashioned honest-to-god hard-core intellectualism, tied to neither left nor right but instead just mindful of history and its lessons and seeking only some sort of honest awareness and understanding of the present, starting to break through the by-now gaping holes in perception and pretense left open by dubya and gang's ongoing train wreck of a head-on between ideology and reality, between agenda-driven lies and and deceptions and what one can with some degree of wisdom and integrity argue to be in fact true? -- danged interesting, if ya ask me . . . (it's been awhile . . .) (fwiw I for one have been sensing, or at least hoping, we might be due . . .)
