O.K. I confess: frequently...too frequently...sometimes several times a day, I call up Google News to see if any change has occurred in the country's action against the Bush administration.
It's undoubtedly a clinical problem.
Again, and again, I am disappointed, and reality briefly sets in again for the umpteenth time: nothing is happening. And for a few seconds, I realize it's possible it may never happen.
There have been worse tragedies in the history of the World, and it is not hard to think of how those suffering silent masses must have felt when things were the darkest. As though it would never end. But usually, eventually, the Sun shone again, and some kind of justice occurred.
It probably will happen here too, but for now, the state of our country is not good.

HOORAY FOR BRATTLEBORO!
At least a few people in America have some cajones.
Besides Keith Olbermann, the only prominent commentator to forcefully speak against this terrible administration, a tiny town in Vermont seems to be speaking bravely against the thundering silence that has paralyzed our country since 2000.
The BushCheneyRoveRice bunch has totally intimidated our country into giving up our most sacred possession: the First Amendment.
The mainstream media, either out of fear of losing revenue, or just plain cowardice, has allowed this administration to commit crime after crime and tell lie after lie, where thousands of our own kids, and maybe hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, may have died or have become maimed. Millions of Iraqis have become displaced as refugees.
Let's give it up for those brave Vermonters, who have the guts to speak out in our own country, which has become terrorized by our leaders, to retreat from using our own First Amendment.
