And whats on my mind right now is something that Christopher McHale wrote in response to my feelings about the healthcare program. It is beautifully written and tweaks my heart. Youre speaking of the America our grand-parents and parents built - one of unions and equal rights and highways and gorgeous post office buildings and airports and train stations - a worlds fair of democratic intent and success, with a government of ideals and ideas, built around beautifully sentimental, and yes, corny, middle-class values. This America has been systematically murdered in our lifetime, beginning with Ronald Reagan. We are now victims of the simplest of concepts, divide and conquer, controlled by a burgeoning plutocracy wielding the most insidious of devices in the history of mankind, an intrusive and pervasive mass-media. Our media is like a fascists wet dream, so malleable and naive. We live distracted in so many ways, from sports to shows to fashion to gossip. All was well before, but now greed has infected our ruling class and they have lost sight of the greatness of nation building, completely seduced instead by the palaces they build every day in their minds.
