I don't know where all of this will lead, Elizabeth, but my deep down inside feeling is, nowhere good.
It takes an informed and an active society to right itself when it goes wrong. We have not got that and I am beginning to believe will won't get there. The media has a lot to do with this, as they make a large noise over a small group of disenchanted tea baggers, but not one word was reported on network news about the large protest by environmentalists last week in front of the White House and the fact that over 1000 people were arrested, including world renowned climate scientists. Nada. We are fed pablum with a spoon.
Articles like this one give us a valuable insight into a corrupt bunch of ideologues and bandits, but unfortunately, only the choir seems to read them. The gallery continues to get its' 'fair & balanced news' from the network arm of the lunatic fringe which has become the norm of the GOP. And they cannot get enough of it.
For the first time in my life, I do not know what to do & I have a constant, smothering dread hovering over my head like the fabled black cloud. I recognize this as low grade depression and I find it justified. And unpleasant.
Enough of my doom & gloom. It's a beautiful day and I will stuff my dread and go out and enjoy it. I have the farrier here this AM, so I will get all the news fit to pass on!
