How did we get into this situation? Why do we ignore evident truth? Why do we not extricate ourselves to our own advantage? Why do we tolerate congressional investigating committees before our public and television eyes to retreat into "closed session" when the vitals are to be discussed and the truth to be re-costumed? Why do we fly in the face of the industrialized world with and exorbitant but inferior medical system to our own disadvantage? Why do we permit the warlords their treacherous manipulation to "Support Our Troops," knowing that it's an extension of our charter to slaughter more of those very same youngsters as well as the foreign victims?
Perhaps you know the answer. But trust me now: I do not.
At first I thought that perhaps the American electorate was simply lamentably uninformed and in fact just stupid. But then I heard the private criticism and indeed the growing public expression that belied that first impression, and it seemed there was indeed evidence, even in the face of the flag waving and the warmongering slogans, of an informed electorate. Then the public criticism of the official 9-11 explanation became pronounced, perhaps just a shade less than universal. And now we have one public opinion poll after another clearly surfacing the electorate's interest in a government administered medical system. And we have witnessed since the Democrat takeover of Congress, then the subsequent election of a Democrat president, that political partisanship is not inherent to the treachery, with the new government, aside perhaps from cosmetic pretensions, marching down the same path of treachery as did its Republican predecessor.
Ignorance now proves not the excuse, not the reason. Partisan preference is not a causal factor. The truth is now abundant that in the eyes of a knowing electorate of either partisan persuasion, an electorate that would have things otherwise, our license to slaughter and our charter for assorted other criminal abuse maintains.
In the face of all my endeavors to keep informed, to discern fact from fiction, to identify the real issues, to sense the truth as opposed to the propaganda, to seek sources of enlightenment beyond the American bought-and-paid-for media -- I am absolutely confounded by my inability to comprehend why we allow our government to operate at variance to our best interests and to the disgrace of our future history, and why we do not cancel its license for slaughter, its charter for treachery, all of which continue to march on at our pleasure.
