Reply #32: Awareness is a process [View All]

[melody]

Those of us who are old enough to remember the Viet Nam war protests (and I barely am) will remember how the awareness took awhile to sink in - despite the protests, never mind the battle scene footage. Finally, it hit critical mass.

We've just started this journey. Dubya has nowhere to go but down. MOST people have their eyes open now -- I see it even in my right-wing neighbors.

When the real numbers come out of New Orleans - and I suspect it's going to be closer to half a million than we know - then I think REAL outrage will kick in. Right now, a lot of people (even the ones helping, as we all are) are staggering around, stunned.
