"APATHY AND ANNIHILATION"

Amen to this write, La Belle! While the rich get richer with tax breaks and shelters, the middle-class(what there is left of the middle-class)is bearing the burden and the poor are being deprived of what little cushion they have. As a nation we will be judged on how we treat the most vulnerable of our citizens.

Since 9/11 we have been paralyzed by fear, which has been used as a tool of control. We have stood by while one-by-one our rights have disappeared.
We wanted a Daddy to take care of us. In a country by and for the people which was instituted in the beginning as a protest against a King and oppression, this is insane irony.

Very strong statements and points well made. It's too bad the rebel hippies of the sixties who were willing to be arrested, lay down and die, get beaten and scream their lungs out didn''t pass the torch somehow on to the next generation.

You've hit the nail on the head, Kiddo.

Hi La Belle, You say it right! A dumb-downed society, which is the tactic that Hitler used. Kind of scary. If people would become of one mind, not just talk the talk, but walk the walk, like many years ago when people became of one mind and had a tax revolt... and won. Thank you for sharing this... needs to be said, heard, and acted on...

In Spirit,

I think that America as been poisoned with a kind of nerve poison that only allows them to feel only a emotion when watching Terminator or a Cadillac Preacher.
America is dormant, insensitive, and that hope ship for her as sailed.
Now only remains to sink or swim.
