9. I saw Margaret Attwood last night
The author of a Hand Maid's Tale, said in respect to the growing theocracy in the US that " I never suscribe to the statement that it can't happen here"

I thought it was interesting that her assessment of democractic forms of governmentt seem to be supported until people become afraid and will trade civil rights for security.

In the Handmaid's Tale, she said everthing in the book occured in American history at one time or another.

So if the chimp steals another election... well I half fear for Kerry if he does win.
If my instincts are right, there has to be more reason to repudiate these NEOCON thugs. Things may have to get really , really bad first.

I will stay here and make the best difference I can.
