Waking From My Moral Coma

[marions ghost]

16. yep this is better than that...is not working

re. --"I am finished with the moral geometry that says this is better than that, which makes this good."

They have us where they want us, distracted, divided, scrabbling, obsessing about "entitlements" and deficits and minimum wages. They have us on the ropes. Don't look, over there. Don't look at what we have done, over there, in these "wars." Don't look at the toll taken, in lives, in resources, in credibility around the world--and the damage to our national psyche. Don't look. Don't feel. Don't think.

We sleep --but with nightmares, waking up suddenly, knowing the truth of it. Warmongers own this country. Blood on our hands. It is hard to accept. And even if we don't deny it...what to do...what to do but lament what might have been.
