Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

LEFT is RIGHT has an inspiring post. I've been feeling the loss of focus myself and have been feeling ineffectual with linkage that either seems to echo someone else or may be something I'm sure everyone has already read.

It's starting to get old.

It's too easy to continue down this worn path. We've set up our blogs (a hard experience for many of us) and now we pass around our links and comments to the same visitors ad nauseum. We try to find out if one of our regular high-brow reads has found a scoop no one else has posted so that we can be one of the first to re-post and gloatingly cite the high-brow source. There are so many liberal bloggers out there, we've diluted ourselves to the state of uselessness. And to add insult to injury, many of the more popular sites have a perpetual hat out for donations. Good old capitalism.


I'm not sure what the answer is, and to some extent I still feel we have been effective but I can't help but feel the truth and weariness in these words "We relentlessly attack Bush et al. for lying to us. We ceaselessly catalog how "we" are right and "they" are wrong;
It, like the backlash on 'political correctness', becomes a cumbersome
burden and sounds too much like preaching. No one pays attention.

LEFT is RIGHT says: " Republican Big Business is in charge. Once we all come to grips with this reality, then we can start returning the basic fabric of our society to the people.

Nothing less than a true revolution will accomplish this."


What are we going to do about it??
