Reply #53: Me, too! [View All]

How long are we going to whinge on this and other 'left-leaning' blogs about the ignorance, stupidity and utter incompetence of the sock puppets du jour infesting our nation's political offices?

We can ill afford all of these lovely pity parties, wherein we post clever and witty bon mots slamming pathetic people. Our global economy is crumbling faster than an oreo cookie in a toddler's mouth. Earth is SCREAMING in agony from the multiple burdens of our unfettered hubris. An astonishing number of our nation's depressed and disenfranchised children report that they don't expect to see their elder years!

And, yet, so very many of us remain ensconced in front of our puters, in our comfortably air-conditioned homes, pouring out our anger and angst through our keyboards. (Oh, lest I forget, some of us--NOT me; the luckier ones who still have a job--open our checkbooks and give to 'noble causes.')

Time for change. PAST time for us to get off our collective asses, and hit the streets.

Freedom Plaza, October 6. Please pledge to be there. Work NOW to locate long term parking options and alternate travel routes. Make a list of non-perishable foodstuffs you can use over the long haul. Encourage your friends, neighbors, and fellow activists to be there for the duration. Network with others who've made the pledge. Envision multiple MILLIONS of people in solidarity there. PLEASE, put your time and energy toward this essential goal. We MUST wrest back from the uber wealthy corporatists our media, our politics, OUR LIVES!
