I'm a news junky. And I ran across four pieces of news that grabbed me by the throat and haven't let go. I'm going to post links to them and hope a few of you will read, or watch, and feel like commenting. I know I've lost most of you with this long period of neglect, but today I'm going to try to remedy that neglect. This might be a little overwhelming; it has been for me, but this is the crux of the problem we're all facing. If you can't digest this all at once, come back and read it bit by horrifying bit.
The first story to catch my attention is this one: Trauma: how we've created a nation addicted to shopping, work, drugs, and sex
The second story is: America in Decline: Why Germans Think We're Insane
The third is: 2011; A Brave New Dystopia
The fourth is a video clip of Chris Hedges : Death of the Liberal Class:
Jimmy Carter

I just finished reading Hedges' piece about dystopia when I saw this in my google reader.
Man, he's so spot on.
Funny how just when I thought this blog was a waste of space, I got interested in the coming horror enough to point it out.
Thank you. I read the three articles and am downloading Chris Hedges. I have been a fan of his since I read American Fascism
Chris Hedges is so friggin' brilliant, I think I'd fellate that boy if it would further his cause.
Thanks for sharing these; I'll be back for the rest of 'em as time allows.
My dear CunningRunt. I too would offer to fellate Chris Hedges for the same reason. Solidarity comrade.
