bobd, I don't post often but your sentiments move me to.
We're about the same age though I'd bet there are many of us regardless of age who are feeling close to many of the things you write about.
It is difficult seeing a country and culture that had so much promise, the progress(ive) of a New Deal, the ideals of a Great Society take a turn back of the clock to a plantation culture where inequality is considered to be actually the right nature order of things by a ruthless ruling elite.
I'd only like to add, to reach out and say hang on, we are not few. You have said what I'd like to say and done it in a far more clear and articulate manner than I ever could and that ability, the ability to write it well, is more than enough reason to get out of bed every day.
Write it often, write it big.
