So I was reading a diary about the NYT and Murdoch-gate, and in the comments was the title quote for this diary from blue aardvark - giving credit where credit is due ...... and that got me to thinking.... Who are the bullies we needn't be afraid of? That we need to stand up to?
I think we have a good sense of who they are .... Banks To Big To Fail, The Greed-Kings (and Queens) of Wall Street and the Multi-Nationals, The political servants of the former (mainly Repubs, but unfortunately a few too many elected Ds as well).
Anyway .... a couple of random musical thoughts about what to do when you are afraid ....
For starters, if you end up on the Group W bench ... or somebody asks you why you don't feel like doing immoral things to support an immoral culture .... you could sing a few bars....
of a favorite Thanksgiving song
Or perhaps you could unbutton your coat, and share some aloha
But in the end ... I guess it just means being polite but not shy ... and showing you are not afraid to share your thoughts, speak your mind, and act on your beliefs.
And when we do that, we will be the 99% in action, not just in concept.
