4. this is probably the best response to our current situation that i've read so far -- and believe me
me when i say, i've ready everything i can get little digits on. thank you for a real, human take on this. you hit the nail on the head by starting out with that car wreck feeling (we're not getting out of this). that is completely the vibe right now.

don't know if anyone else caught this, but Thursday when Keith gave his Cheney special comment, both he and Rachael had a certain resignation in their voices that i had not heard up until this point. it was like the tone horrible acceptance that a cancer patient gets when they come to believe the inevitable is well, inevitable. it startled me in its quietness and lack of bombast.

this essay vibes with that horrible acceptance i heard and says what cannot be said on mainstream television -- that it's going to take a revolutionizing of the way we interact with capital in order to pull out of this. so maybe the new deal naysayers are correct -- maybe that wasn't enough. we have to take it further this time.

thank you DGC.
