Reply #38: Welp a traditional "media quality writer"

may just have morphed into the realm of the oxymoronic in these times when journalistic integrity has virtually ceased to exist and the once land of the lively discussion has been dumbed down beyond virtual recognition to intractably dualism and dumb assed shouting matches.

So don't sweat it. And thanks for being understanding of my really petty grammatical peeve. It's really inconsequential in the grander scheme of things.

Speaking of which, as I said earlier, many spiritualists do believe that with Pluto's transit through the last decant of Sagg. we will see the further erosion of dogmatic faiths and that we will be required to offer beaucoup assistance to those thusly shaken in any capacity we can. I and many I know and I'm sure you are fully prepared to do so.

I do concur with you in that it is both a time of karmic purge which is thereby challenging our collective will towards ultimate and possible redemptive action.

How Americans will handle it truly seems like a totally mixed bag to me as well. Indeed the degree of damage that's been done is totally unprecedented. The old adage of "extraordinary times calling for extraordinary measures" comes to mind and could never be more true or applicable.

That's why I've been writing incessantly for well over 6 months to influence the collective discourse in whatever fleeting way I can. I know I've effected that discourse in a profound and anonymous way in the past but now the circumstances are far different and that gives me great and startling pause. Issues of sex and the truth are simply far easier to be funny about than those of war and peace.

I do not think you are pessimistic at all. I think you are thoughtful and wise. I do study history but don't necessarily believe that it will incessantly repeat itself ad nauseum. I'm banking on a major breakthrough.

I go back and forth though. On one hand I wonder if I would have brought a kid into the world if I had known how far we would digress so quickly. On a deeper level I know that he and I have a soul contract most profound and we may just make a difference in whatever small way we can.

I never anticipated investing 3 & 1/2 years tirelessly working for election reform to no apparant avail. A larger exercise in seeming futility I've never experienced before. It may seem selfish but I simply don't want to see him or any of his friends drafted ever. And I don't like the fear I've increasingly seen in the faces of the high school and college kids with whom I work which has augmented so dramatically over most recent years.

As to the wheels of justice, I feel they largely hinge on guilt. That is how I humbly and gruelingly have understood sociopaths. Negative repercussions largely seem to hinge on guilt and remorse. If one feels none it would appear as though the negative repercussions are pushed into a future life. That's what is so darned frustrating in these times. No apparant justice whatsoever.

I do truly feel as though Fitz is a total ace. Watching him on the tube last October was totally refreshing and reminded me of earlier times when I didn't have to put on my BS deflector when watching it.

"Capitalism on steroids" indeed. As I said earlier we pretend to worship God when in reality we worship money regardless of the means through which it is acquired and routinely reward selfishness and greed. There is a far better model I swear.

Okay now I'm sounding like a broken record.

I normally don't stay up this late.

When Reagan was being lauded as a God upon his demise two years ago I was nauseated. Not only did he deregulate everything but he also trashed all the incentives for the developement of alternate energy that we've since ceded that to the Skandahooligans. Okay now I'm really getting silly.
