I feel numb. I don't care. The Party is Over. Who's with me?
This Democratic Party of mine is dead, like a doornail. I don't know what do do about it.

The media and message is owned by our enemies, the corporate fascists, and the majority of the public are fine with it. I don't know what to about that either.

The Christan Taliban are on the rise. Not just in the southland either. We can't kill em' all or refight the civil war.

This country refuses to learn it's lessons. Another war, another draft, another generation will be lost. They go right along, flags waving, taking out their fears on the innocent bystanders.

We continue to live in the delusion, perpetuated by the corporate owned media, that we should give tax breaks and other incentives to the rich and powerful, because one fine day we will hit the lottery and be one of them.

Voting fraud will continue, until this "democracy" has the legitimacy of a third world banana republic.

I guess I'm just confused and numb. But not positive. And there is no numb and negative forum.

1. This is the numb and negative forum
People are throwing everything out there. This is good, we can vent, yell at each other, and come up with new radical ideas. Most are shitty, very shitty because they were made in moments of anger, but once in awhile, some stick and should be used.

2. I don't know
I guess it's my mood, but I'm out of ideas, and the rest just seem like grasping.

We are in such deep shit, now. We don't even have a party that represents us anymore.

3. Organize from the ground up
Make them represent you. Talk to your congressman and make sure that they know your concerns and all your friends' concerns. We need to focus locally.
