Or, do we let the blood lust run its course, and if so, how much will be too much? At what point will we act? It’s a tough one. Watching the schoolyard bully try and beat a smaller kid to death rubs most of us wrong. Personally, I haven’t any answers, but I do know how I feel.

And, we are in good shape there; no doubt about it. The numbers are fiddled in ways which produce a number which doesn’t reflect true unemployment but it’s consistent.

In addition, I would also like to see mentioned consumer survey figures which reflect back the mood of the people, us, living out here.

An honest assessment of survey results and administration led public discussions on what they reveal would be a great place to begin to shore up public concerns with the struggles we’re having across the economic board.

One trusted survey since the 1940s

A grassroots peace movement like we’ve seen before. Just peace. Period. Peace.

"I would like to see every single soldier on every single side, just take off your helmet, unbuckle your kit, lay down your rifle, and set down at the side of some shady lane, and say, nope, I aint a gonna kill nobody. Plenty of rich folks wants to fight. Give them the guns."
Woody Guthrie

I'm 73 years old. There is not, or has not been, a war that I've supported since I've been alive. Here's my question: how can one support a war that one is not willing to fight in or play a supporting roll in. If you are a vet of foreign war then you've exhibited your support for this method of change, but I'm referring to people like myself, who have never participated, or intended to participate, in the military lifestyle. This seems a bit insincere to me. Killing is an extremely personal undertaking, not an act that should be considered because someone else thinks it's a good idea, or for any reason one does not fully understand. As we see in returning vets, taking life is a crushing weight for young healthy minds to bare. Every potential warrior should be educated about the ramifications of, and given time to consider, what he/she might be asked to do.

Why can’t the forces of voting rights muster the same enthusiasm and powers of mobilization as these astroturfing anti maskers?

This kind of energy can also be directed into positive direct actions and civil disobedience, yet, there isn’t a will or a spark, or even any organizational attempts being made as far as I can tell.

The ignorant disregard for facts and disrespect for other’s wellbeing make me cringe, but the determination gathered behind their misguided convictions is noteworthy.

Is it something that just isn’t done?

Well, having an entire political party fight openly for white supremacy and Naziism while their followers stand around munching on animal dewormer and drinking piss hasn’t generally been done either.

It’s becoming more and more evident as time passes that the indigenous peoples of our planet, slaughtered in untold millions over the last 500 years by colonial and imperialistic nations, were and are more adept at living within the parameters of their environments. Conveniently, conquerors like Europeans and their next generations of colonial offspring created gods and holy cabals who commanded this destruction of these more environmentally advanced civilizations. Only now, when the modern world stands at the edge of extinction are a few looking back to those earlier destroyed and ridiculed for leadership and answers. Sadly, greed, ignorance, and hubris are still in charge and madly speeding towards the cliff.
