There is an ugliness in the land.....

[MrMickeysMom]

1. What is most ugly to me is the way people "cope" with helplessness...

Coping mechanisms are pretty ugly. I just screamed in traffic as a passenger in our car and it wasn't necessary, it was rather embarrassing that "no one heard me but my beloved driver". I'm embarrassed for thinking and reacting that way.

That scheme is what I see the masses do when prodded to lash out with the "enslaving Mexicans" idea. They are played like violins on acid. Was it all a dream that people reacted or played along that way? Ask all those "good Germans". Hell, ask the Germans now as to how they should treat Greece.

In fact, while I'm at it… ask every one of us if we could replay our worst behavior, would we not think before going along with this need to lash out against the poorest at the bottom of the corporate food chain?

Collectively…. Shame. Redemption is knowledge and realizing that one scheme builds on the other.

May we learn to embrace the answers without somebody killing someone else needlessly again.
