Yep, me too. For the last 10 years I'd been on a self realization journey with politics in this country. The direction I'd been going in was an easy path to follow with Bush and co. in control. Bush saw the world in black and white and in retrospect, I was able to see the world in black and white also....he just happens to see black where I see white and vice versa. I knew neocons had to go and that they were a pox on this country. With Obama and his concessions and general lack of progressive policies (he lost me quick when he refused to rescind the warrantless wiretapping Bush started) and the rise of a crop of right wing nut job fruit loop gypsy dildo punks even scarier than the neocons and a complicit media willing to offer a forum for them....I mean, what the hell is wrong with this country? I've had to stop following politics (not altogether, I'm still a light weight junkie)because I need to find a spiritual center again as I'm beginning to cultivate a seed of an idea that truly, this country cannot be saved. The ideals of progressives I'm still largely for and they are worth fighting for but it's been dawning on me lately that I may never see a true progressive in the White House and the forces and power behind the scenes have already won the war. We're just watching drama on stage representing the illusion that the people still have a say how our country should be run. That a national dialogue, as slanted, weak and watered down as it is, means something. I mean how much more psychotic, irrational, willfully ignorant and retarded is this whole cauldron of stupid soup going to get before it just explodes (and yes I used the 'R' word). It just keeps getting more and more amped up. I want to run away. Be in a cabin and live off the land. I want to buy a boat and sail around and forget things. Take alot of psychedelics and commune with spirit to get information and revelation because things are intense.
Driftglass, you have the images, and Anon, you have the words that perfectly describe what I, and I believe so many others are experiencing now. You've nailed it. That's all I can say...
tastily conspicuous use of the "R" word - yeah, fuck people concerned with petty identity politics.
Can't win the whole, might as well not give a good damn about any insignificant particular part standing between you and an effective rhetorical zinger like the Retards, amirite?

More fruit and fiber, maybe, judging from that look of of concentration.
Plus alcohol, which counts as either a fruit or a grain or a vegetable, depending.
