It is getting tough to avoid.

I had an idea though…
AARP is one of the most powerful lobbyists (so I’m told – I’ll be 40 soon so I’m not a member) and it is comprised of PEOPLE.

What if we started an organization comprised of PEOPLE (like minded of course). Sure, most might think we’re nutcakes… but I think there are more folks out there like us than we think?

I don’t know, just a thought. I bought a “manual” from the 70s called “Roots To Power – A Grass Roots Manual.” Just arrived in the mail, so it’s on the reading list.

Like trying to unwet water. That does sort of sum it up.

We do have somewhat of an ability to unplug or at least promote the good shit out there. However, it’s getting pretty tough to avoid.

I just got a chance to watch the video. My heart aches; I feel sick; I want to destroy it; I want to cry, frustrated, sad at our society.

This is so beyond Fucked up that I don’t even know where to start to shut it down.

I asked my wife how she felt about it. She said it was sad – I told her, “Well you should be pissed!” ‘Why’ she asked. I said because ‘sad’ won’t move you to action, anger will and so will the pursuit for what is right, just, and fair. It’s like kids don’t even have a chance. It makes me feel gross like when a child is harmed by a perp.

It is hard to wake up, unplug, and then learn enough to begin the deconstruction of what is built around you.

How do you fight a beast this large, this integrated? It’s like trying to UNwet water.
