AMERICANS ARE IN PAIN
Edited on Sun Aug-26-07 02:52 PM by LiberalUprising

The American dream has become the American nightmare of debt, stolen pensions, the inability to retire securely, the poisoning of food, water, air, energy depletion, inflation, healthcare so poor that doesn't even deserve to be called by that name, media and educational systems functioning only to dumb-down the masses. Every institution in American society serves one purpose and one purpose only: to protect the wealthy and to numb and sedate everyone else. ...


...And of course, American readers of these words would want to know immediately "what to do about it." But as an historian, I keep repeating that until you understand how you arrived at where you are, you won't be able to proceed elsewhere. The "doing obsession" is yet another addiction which we would do well to recover from as quickly as possible. As I stated clearly in my article written a few weeks ago entitled "What To Do? What To Do?" the first step in our recovery is being willing to be, yes BE with the pain we are feeling or sense is impairing our health and wellness.

3. I do believe that one of the reasons
Amis are SO PARANOID that some brown person might attack is that from its INCEPTION, America has ATTACKED BROWN PEOPLE, many of them not even so brown as to be distinguished from ITS definition of "white."
