We Live In Ant Farm
Where are we?

A propped up economic system run by criminals aided and abetted by the previous administration's robber barons...
a newly elected -- and accepted into the President's Club -- president, trying to keep the (economic) plates spinning;
who wants to "Look Forward Not Back".... who was campaigning two years early when the Congress -- inc. Dems -- was not doing its sworn duty to protect the Constititution....
and who inherited Bushco's invisible robes and the inevitable crisis, concluding three decades of insane Reaganism that the cozy, dozy, cotton wool public went along with......

The power in our hands has always and only ever will be to make individual choices that make a difference and join with others willing to have that basic, crucial democratic sort of civic engagement.

When progressives refer to people feeling powerless or recent activists possibly losing engagement (exactly what most Boomers did) to start their young lives, THAT IS THE DANGER OF NOT "LOOKING BACK," NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO PREVENT OR PUNISH CRIMES WHEN THERE IS STILL TIME and not holding administrations accountable when they are in office, as the Constitution requires.

Right now, we live in an antfarm.

Made in China.

1. I have to say it all makes my head hurt. The Bush years (really what Reagan began)
are going to take a long, long time to wash out of the system. It is all very disappointing....
