I am rural, and very very INDEPENDENT and very very INDIVIDUALISTIC! I simply do not do collectivism in politics or socio-economics. I disagree with Chris Hedges, who says you either stand with (in other words, show up at) the Wall St. protests or else you are a "slave" and are collectively guilty for the crimes of US imperialism, the US oligarchs, Wall St. etc.
Well, excuse me, Mr. Hedges--you are a Doctor of Divinity, are you not?--but the only one I am a "slave" to is God Almighty!
Besides which, I have been protesting the oligarchy--which has been running the country since 1913 at least--since 1983 when my husband and I bought this rural remote land, built our house ourselves, put in a water well, home schooled our kids, have no debt, and owe nothing to no one but God.
Which means we are way ahead of resisting the criminals and psychopaths who rule is, as compared to Hedges and most others who visit this site! I am the blogger of the old now-defunct blog, Something Happening Here.
