What we do now, what we do into the coming decades, will become the cornerstones for a more evolved democracy, where Americans will better understand and protect Liberty.
A humbling moment for this Obama ‘08 Delegate, who envisioned a very different future than the one we now live in, than the one we see this country lurching toward.
This is our Normandy Beach. It is our turn to keep the flames of democracy, decency and compassion alive.
I think this can, and god forbid might actually, happen if and when we stop resisting. We have not yet really begun to fight, IMHO. We have not, for example, withheld our taxes (which I understand to be legal if certain procedures are followed), we have not boycotted the retail products and wares of the worst corporate offenders, we have not barricaded ourselves behind junk cars and overturned tanks on the streets. But we may yet, if we can't make the brakes hold sooner, rather than later. This is the end of life as we know it, for sure. But it might, if we have the will, be the start of Life Much Improved.
