Fear and Loathing in America

[indigobusiness]

There is no more perfect phrase for the psychological climate in America than "fear and loathing". This trademark phrase is from the fevered genius of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and all rightful credit is his. That is an ugly but necessary preamble in this land of litigation and hustle and profit at all cost., etc...but things like that must be said or risk be taken down by the snarling dogs of legal recourse. Regardless, and all apologies aside, let the point be made: America is lost and searching. Despite the trumpeting of the tired nonsense that America is great, and sound, and will return to its brief and sparkling glory. The brutal point and ugly truth is that America has lost its way... America is no longer America. When every dollar that is spent to annihilate our "enemies" is equally invested in trying to coexist peacefully...When other cultures are respected and embraced and thought of as important and not just strange and different and in need of Americanizing....When lying and deceit lose their currency...And when depth of spirit is as valued as depth of bank accounts... Maybe, then, the promise of the original concept will have a chance of being realized. The world is watching...and loathing.
