Reply #4: cognitive dissonance, mate

[sweetheart]

America is mentally ill. "it/we" is the new imperial rome, and it
can do no wrong, as might makes right. The people are supposed to
sell their souls and life forces to make rome great, and all that
means is more television stations and better choice in fattening
fast food after midnight.

Bush and his crime buddies should be in prison, for lying to the
american public and subverting the constitution to make war. It is
rather clear the crime, just the deception is, like you say, to
involve the whole country in the crime, so they cannot persecute
the offenders.

In buddhist thinking, they often say that life is impermanent; a
dream state. It is not to say it is not substantial and tangibly
real, rather that it is soon changed, lost and forgotten. This dream
will change. It is bush's job to destroy the USA completely so that
it can never again become close to superpower status. You are
caught up, as many at DU, in denial of his power to subvert what
we believed was essentially good and capable of wise governance.

So after a dose of california dreaming, canada, australia, europe...
There are many places to dream a happier ephemeral dream, where the
public is not perverted, and the government criminal. Just it takes
more work to hang in such places, than simply turning off your radio
and embellishing your own case of cognitive dissonance to deny
totally any connection between your wise self, and this nest of liars
in republican washington.
