Jonathan Turley just said something very interesting on Countdown...
Advertisements [?]
it played into a favorite theme of mine that many people ignore routinely...apathy, the apathy of americans as he had stated it this way, when commenting on how we have indeed fundamentally changed; this nation has changed: it changed the moment 'we' voted these new 'prisoner & battlefield combatant' articles into law, he was of course referring to lawmakers still,

i realize that we didn't vote for them, not you or i, or very likely anyone we know but they are here nonetheless; practices we had held others criminally responsible for in previous conflicts 'we' now embrace...

but it all happened from within what Turley referred to as (and here is where i have to agree) "a great yawn across the country as americans turn to: Dancing With The Stars..."

apathy. they were Good Germans then, or so they said to history itself when history came to take it's reckoning...are we now Good Americans for letting, somehow allowing these disease & sickness to infect this land,

what will be our answer, when history comes for us with it's reckoning...or more to the point: them, the proverbial 'they', when we just sat here too
