Speak Up. Speak Out. Speak LOUDLY.

If it wasn’t so serious, it’d almost be comical.  Mitt Romney, “An independent inspector general looked at this investment and CONCLUDED that the administration had steered money to friends and family, to campaign contributors.”  LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR.  That is not true.  No inspector general concluded this.  Why isn’t this a bigger story?  If this was true, Republicans in Congress would have jumped all over this, but even the Republican attack dog Darrell Issa concluded there seemed to be no political or criminal wrongdoing.  

‎”But this new scheme someone came up with—where we prove we’re not racist by acting as casually racist as possible? Not our best, white people. Not our best.”

When was the last time you had a civil discussion with someone who disagrees with you?  Most of us, myself included, are isolated in our own little lifestyle enclaves where everyone looks and behaves just like us.  But even surrounded by similar people, we rarely spend much time engaged with others - maybe a barbecue every once in a while, but rarely any deep meaningful discussions.  Often the result is mud-slinging by everyone (which is promoted by our corporate media). Robert Reich (see link below) has it right and so did Robert Putnam (in his book Bowling Alone).  Our broken bonds continue to wreak havoc on our physical, mental and civic health until we make a change.  Get involved!
