All of that "failure" OP sketches must produce something for someone; maybe it never will, but at least I'm going to go down pushing & sometimes even "fighting" in the streets to make that happen. Problem is being as tired of it all as I am now DOES have its price and that's something I know only those who feel that are aware of and, maybe, we could ameliorate some of that for one another. To me, that's part of my effort here at DU, but I think there may be somethings happening in places like California, anyway, and I think factors are so high and of such a configuration presently as to perhaps produce more similar such efforts elsewhere, so . . . . I look forward to another year of fighting the good losing fight here in my state, Kansas, where the Dems are too busy trying to be "Obama" in a situation that is so far out of balance to the Right, even in our own party, in favor of Conservatives and anti-Socialism, that they have no chance of succeeding on any authentic measures of Liberal and Progressive policies.
