Turn It Loose ?

[kentuck]

Do you ever get the feeling that you are clinging to the thread that is holding the garment together and if you turn it loose, the whole garment will unravel? Is it a "Jesus complex" or something? Your better angels keep you from just turning it loose and watching the souls tumble into confusion and anarchy? You would rather die a martyr than to hear the suffering of the babbling tongues of greed and division? You may not have the truth in your hands but you know the direction and the hearts in which it lives. The evil forces are so strong that sometimes the depression and despair can only be fought with hope and faith. But you vow to never, never give up to those that would destroy humanity itself.

1. Um . . . .. Yeah I guess so.

Hope is the thing with feathers, after all.

2. Yes....it started with the "Hunting of the President" when I scoured Salon

Online every day because I knew Clinton was being "hunted." It was my "wake up call" for the dark road to Hell our country was starting down when the influence of the "Think Tanks" and Reagan's Media Deregulation (tanking the "Fairness Doctrine & Truth in Advertising) started to take hold.

Then when the "Supremes" declared Bush the winner in 2000, I lost my faith in "checks and balances" and that our Government worked for us, that "we the people" had any say so at all into how we are now governed, that we as citizens could any longer "make a difference."

I saw the "hounds of hell" unleashed, and they are still on our heels getting closer.

Hyperbole? I don't think so. It takes some of us all we can do to summon the strength to hang on to those threads and the temptation sometimes is so strong to just let go and be devoured,or thinking that if you join them they won't eat you alive. When one has seen friends and family standing on the sidelines not worried about a thing, not concerned about what has gone on and enjoying the bounty of the Bush P-Residency it's all one can do to keep one's shred of hope that there's any sanity left, that there is any concern by more than a small group of folks here on the internet and here and there in the political structure about this dark road to some kind of hell on earth we are on. To speak about it in most circles is to invite ridicule, scoffing or glazed eyes.

Yes.
