I know that there is yet another segment of Americans who are disturbed by the treacherous eternal wars, churn out emails to each other, write items such as this on the web, carry signs on street corners, attend weekend protests on the Mall, and join "activist" organizations that -- after eleven years of soliciting contributions -- have accomplished nothing beyond promoting their continued organizational existence. Neither this segment nor its organizations have ever measured up to the inconveniences and discomforts, and accepted the risks to their personal safety, such as are required to convince our government these treacherous wars must end and our Bill of Rights must be restored. (These "activist" orgs' idea of action is to invite you to "our next annual meeting," and of course to solicit contributions. Perhaps the largest of them advised me some years ago that my proposal for a specific meaningful action "would interfere with our primary objective, which is to refine our organization." And this was after five years of our slaughterous wars against Afghanistan and Iraq!)
.
I know there are those other few precious individuals who have tried to galvanize the citizenry to demand decency of our government, but have failed to garner the required massive support to endure the hardships required for any chance for success. Bless them -- but the treachery proceeds.
.
What I do not know is why and how any semi-intelligent, half-decent citizens have avoided the truth or claimed otherwise, why and how we abide this evil and treacherous state of affairs, and how we can rise and prepare for each new day of it by looking into our morning mirrors without puking across the reflected image.
