What we as Democrats and Obama will own.

113. Yes! It's an uphill fight. Maybe I've been on the outside so long, and that includes with

the Democratic party, that I no longer think very much about how enormous the inertia is. I can feel it crushing everything, so I try not to think about it too much because I'm tired and afraid it's going to get me, turn me into a 0.

Something I have been thinking about lately: From the biological bases of behavior - biological thresholds that are comprised of different levels of trigger events. The Arab Spring may have been an example of that sort of thing on (pardon the reference) a meta- scale. Those thoughts keep me going. The main thing is to NOT go away, to be there and ready when it happens. Not going away is enough in itself, for me anyway, at this point, but I do hope it happens in my lifetime. I learned that from being around Civil Rights grassroots people who live by the principles of non-violence. I remember how happy I was when I stumbled upon them standing outside a cordoned off ritzy convention center here in Cupcake Land where Cheney was speaking in the summer of 2002.
