"It's each and every one of us, complicit by citizenship and abetting through our silence when another new abuse justified as being performed in our name is revealed. We've been fooling ourselves for years about many things, and what saddens me the most is that, while certain victories are now finally being achieved, the war within us is being lost in the ensuing hoopla.

It's good that Bu$hCo is being confronted and bested by the Democrats and moderate Republicans. But that in and of itself isn't cause for celebration. I'm concerned that we are merely changing bucking broncos in the middle of a raging torrent on the edge of a tall cascade and are about to tumble onto the rocks below." - - - pessimist
