The Living Force
I began my day reading this on SOTT: http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/138905-Officials+say+Gonzales+has+resigned. Then at work all day, of course, NPR played choice sound-bites of Alberto Gonzales and President Bush's paramoralistic, melodramatic BS.
Once home, i opened my new National Geographic to this photo which vicariously brought a moment of relief from all that disgust churning in my gut. See if it does the same for you ;)
My thoughts: In stark contrast to the Alberto Gozales cabal (i.e. our Congress of lawyers), this is how honest lawyers act when they're really passionate for justice--especially an "independent-minded Chief Justice," whose firing, fired them into protest!
Despite being a "child of the '60's," I have reservations about the success of "old fashioned" protests (given all the vacancies at America's network of Civilian Detention Centers). Still, it does a heart good to imagine, what if the lawyers (and the rest of us) in America had so passionately protested the injustice of the hiring Alberto Gonzales!
The seeming lack of national outcry, certainly gives credence to theories that America literally has become a "Prozac Nation"--FDA numbed and incapable of that passionate, righteous indignation that spawned many of humanity's finest moments.
Sadly, the patriots' battle-cry: "Give me liberty or give me death!" has been pornerolized into the NeoCon mandate: "Give them the death of liberty!"
(Note the caption's mention of the United States.)
