Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

migo -- good as always to hear from you, and thank you for your thoughts -- very much in the sense of the chinese curse, we do indeed live in interesting times

as for your question, 'what can we do?' --

in my view -- we can stick to and stand up and fight for our principles and values, and without cowering speak openly and work however else we each can to counter the ragged tapestry of lies and to spread information and thus awareness about what's really happening -- or we can flee the country -- me, I'm staying -- always been kinda stubborn

the ultimately hideous fascist reality dubya and the neo-cons are handing us all stands ever more clearly right out in the open in front of us all every day -- all any of us has to do is to look and see -- will the ultimately undeniable clear-eyed and courageous super-majority that will be necessary to turn back the fascist tide develop and prevail? -- I am not without optimism, as an ever darker discontent with the manifest madness and horrors of our emergent fascism ineluctably gains strength every day even as our being marched and herded ever deeper into that new fascism continues just as ineluctably every day -- this is of course the absolutely classic dialectic thesis/antithesis signature of an increasingly unstable reality; sooner or later something's gonna have to give -- so what will be the resolution of that opposition, the new synthesis, this time? -- we shall see -- and we shall all, each and every one of us, with or without knowledge and awareness, and with or without acting based on self-realized independent will, play our roles
