are very powerful. They do not play by the rules. Expect the worst from them and you will not be disappointed. These hijackers of our government are completely corrupt and they really do seek to rule by exploiting their own people, as unthinkable as that may be. This is nothing new to the world but it may seem new and depressing to Americans. At this point I think it helps to kill all delusions about how things used to be, or how things should be. Once you get over the expectation of things to be working as they always did, or according to some ideal, then you can dig in and resist the multiple assaults without so much of an emotional roller coaster ride. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task but we DO have the numbers and we DO have the Power of Truth on our side.

So don't give up -- esp not now that the tide for them is ebbing. In simplistic terms their obscene war is not going well and their ruthless domestic agenda has been exposed by Katrina. And now several prominent Repuglicans are being investigated for serious crimes. Even those sheeple who don't follow anything else get that much. The majority in this country now want a big change. We the People really don't have the choice to opt out entirely right now. This is a struggle for everything we care about.
This is our lot in this time and place. We will see some awesome changes before this era is over.
