Everyone else seems to inhabit some kind of beautiful dream world.. I wish I knew how or where exactly so I could go too (I'm being facetious, I think), so I could go there too sometimes, but then again, I - like you say think this all looks like a RERUN, like some kind of fairy tale for adults in arrested development or like a bad movie that's been caught on a loop of constant re-running.. Where will it end. Sadly the Mesopotamian Holocaust seems to continue unabated with few doves who are willing to fight back, and I too find this rather perplexing. (Perhaps it really is a 'color of language' thing - where Obama is secretly on our side.. but I don't know.. the caveat emptor warning is not lost on me at any rate. B.t.w. - not everyone shunned the Dixie Chicks.. I went out and bought all of their albums one they came out as doves (and I'm not the biggest C&W fan, but hey - if it's truly ANTI-Bush/war then man, it's got my financial support, damn it.) <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your regular and honest appraisals of the situation. I was wondering if it was just me being a dour cynic again.. But I think you tend to be a little less impressionable than I - so I as I say, appreciate your take immensely. Barack's Trip: At times he would make a speech that would lift me three feet off of the ground.. with relief thinking he finally 'gotten' it, only to find the very next day that he was back to some version of warmongering lite (in posture or actual, I cannot tell) so who knows (not I) where this man stands really? <BR/><BR/>I don't know, and fear the worst as you say.. More little Machiavellian Princesses and their magic pony BS, is yes, what it all appears to be (and the old saying.. if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.. it's a duck, I think bears it out, unfortunately). What is this "change" equals "status-quo" garbage anyway (like you mention) ?? "war" is "peace" "Freedom" is "Slavery" "Occupation" is "Freedom Fighting" so on.. All very Ugly American and reaganomical it seems, dog gone it. Orwell seems to have become revered as some sort of master architect for the future of "Democracies", rather than the seer and the prophetic wisdom and agent for changing for the future and reclaiming our government from the hands of those Would be Emperors and Kings of our day. I too long for the return of plain speaking honesty and forthright leadership. When? When will Obama realize that he already has a big fat mandate already for the "Change" he so glibly sold us not too very many months ago? He needn't capitulate. I say he must make a stand or he will lose. Other say he must play it safe ride the path of least resistance.. play along with the militarists., etc., etc., <BR/><BR/>(?) They just can't see THEY AREN'T PLAYING WITH US.. THIS ISN'T A GAME TO THEM.. THEY ARE PLAYING FOR KEEPS AND THE STAKES ARE QUITE LITERALLY THE LIFE AND DEATH OF MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF PEOPLE.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if Obama's been absorbed into the borg' collective yet or not. I hope not? I'm still hoping against hope but I - like you - am racked with doubts and downright dismay (anger, fear, etc.).<BR/><BR/>I guess our job is to just keep saying the truth over and over again.. no matter how unpopular it makes us or how deaf the ears are of the people around us or how little anyone wants to hear about the 'truth' right now (and would rather discuss Batman.. something, anything else at this point - please they seem to be saying - we are tired and..). Perhaps as some have pointed out this militarization and corporatization is already complete and we have a more uphill battle than we ever realized.. That they plan to win whether it is by fiat or by black box robo-vote, or by a massive propaganda campaign paid for with our own tax-dollars (their current strategy) (most likely a combo, it seems of all three, unfortunately for us). Honestly, I don't care what the case may be and intend to keep soldiering on regardless.. there are simply too many poor humans, men, women, children - being tortured and killed and abused to simply sit and "hope" and talk a lot about "change" while doing nothing really to put an end to the concentration camps and the torture and indiscriminate killing, etc., etc..<BR/><BR/>God how verbose I am today.. sorry.B.Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208022716994772661noreply@blogger.com
