53. Please DO NOT Shut Up PBD.
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 03:26 AM by TheWatcher
We NEED Voices like yours to keep shining the light.

At this point, voices like mine are far too acerbic, impatient, and cynical, and I will freely admit that.

Which is a shame because I actually DO have a lot to add to a discussion, and I as well know what I am talking about. But my tone is far too harsh for most. It is just maddening to me how many people are falling for the false hope, propaganda, and unmitigated bullshit that is being peddled to the public on a daily basis. The "Recovery" they keep selling is nothing more than the "Recovery" and "Preservation" of the Ponzi Mechanics that are responsible for DESTROYING the real economy to begin with. The Predators are not going to change their nature.

But again, I will admit I am far to frustrated and disillusioned to play nice right now.

I see what's being done to my country, and I am angry.

Outraged beyond belief at those who are doing it, and equal outrage at those who are drinking in the propaganda like their favorite Beer, and actually cheering it all on.

My problem is that I have LOST my voice, at least in the sense of use for reasonable debate and discussion. I need to take a step back for awhile, because it is clear to me that I can't do this right now.

But the survival of our nation depends on us NOT being silent, and RESISTING those who are taking us down the wrong path.

Keep your voice loud, firm, and unyielding.

It is NEEDED.

And don't worry about those who can't or won't get it.

Hopefully at some point there will be enough who DO who will end up making the difference because people like you refused to be silenced.
