Like many of you, I'm frustrated by the fact that Bush Inc. is not yet behind bars or lynched. It's like nobody gives a crap about the crimes. I just wanted to toss a couple of thoughts out here for people to respond to and see where the conversation goes.
We're dealing with a public that doesn't seem to mind much being lied to, driven to imperialistic war, or spied on. Just give 'em enough stupid shit on tv to keep them distracted from reality, and they seem to be happy (nevermind the addictive behaviors).
Ultimately, the attack on schools is part of a larger attack on Enlightenment values.... little things like truth, objectivity, science, rational thought, democracy... yada-yada-yada... Quit thinkin' and just believe. Power today presents itself as Peter Pan, and it correctly assumes, I fear, that most of us never want to grow up.
