Apr. 27, 2012 -- It's no accident that "the system" -- this dominant and destructive culture of ours -- makes us feel so damn alone, makes us feel like we can't make a difference, like we can't "fight City Hall."

The nature of top-down rule, of course, is to leave those on the bottom throwing up their hands in resignation, heaving a collective sigh, and concluding: Whaddya gonna do?
