127. mixed feelings...
I'm thrilled to read bushbots waking up and being critical of their king.

...but, heartbroken that we had to fall so far and suffer such a massive disaster and horrific results for the brainwashed bushbots to open their eyes and finally SEE.

If indications are correct, this is the beginning of an extremely difficult 3-4 months and longer. We have dark days ahead.

Reminds me of the Letter to America written by Eve Ensler, in which she pleads for apathetic America to wake up to our new reality. Sounds like they are waking up.


Dear America,

I am longing to reach you - crossing this river of indifference and consumption and denial. I am trying to find you, reaching out through the desperate limitations of words and descriptions, swimming through the rhetoric of terror and God.

I need you to wake up. The house is on fire and you are still sleeping, lulled by the intoxication of smoke and mirrors. I need you to wake up and I know that shaking you, scaring you will only make you cling to your sleep and sleep more.

America, those who now control our country have changed and ended law. I do not believe you are so calloused or selfish that you do not care. Your sleep is induced. You are distracted and derailed. The corporations have concocted and perfected these sleeping potions for years...

snip

America, there is not much time left. The fire is spreading, consuming the world. We are the arsonists. We will need each other to find our way out through the lies and haze. It will take our greatest imagination, courage and skill to subdue these flames.
