Reply #40: The sensitive, aware ones [View All]

like you are hurting right now .I'm hurting too; we all are. But you also know damn well the bastards WANT you to give up. I'll never give them that satisfaction. I'm 56 years old (WHAT?????) and can't quite believe what America has allowed itself to be turned into , but I'm also not surprised at the organized, calculated effort to counter every decent thing my generation, even with all our human imperfection , tried to accomplish. They HAD to block us at every turn, satisfying their greed and lust for power depended on it. (I even occasionally see younger DUers buying into the rightwing spun myths of how the 60's generation are all sellouts or are responsible for everything that's gone wrong) And now your generation is having to fight battles it shouldn't have to now, but it does...The people that ran, and run, everything are desperate to hang on to their power, and their desperation is showing, and that's , in my opinion, why they're more dangerous than ever, and therefore the situation is so bad. They know damn well more and more people have figured out what they're up to, despite having intimidated or bought off the main sources of information. But they ARE desperate. This is exactly the wrong time to give up (and don't think I don't have those "fuck it, I give up" thoughts often). Don't let 'em get you to the point where you really do give up. Its this bad because they're desperate and they know, maybe better than you do yourself, that you're not alone. I also absolutely agree with others who've responded by suggesting ways to relax, decompress, and be happy. You're young; you got the energy to have fun as well as to fight. Do both,make sure you don't forget to enjoy being young...I'm rambling as usual...(too much ganja in the olden days?)
