If...
...you are concerned about the future of our country and our world I suggest you read this book.
The Middle Mind, Why Americans Don't Think For Themselves,
by Curtis White.
He doesn't blame The Right or The Left. He blames us.

"He blames us." Who? Bi/Gay guys?! (I'm kidding. I'm envious of people like you who are so well read. I read so slow...)
I think this is not American specific actually but due to upbringing everywhere. We are raised in environments of rules and authority and into adulthood, out of habit, we continue to believe we should "toe the line" and NOT think for ourselves. Not thinking is actually convenient, and it's not until we are INconvenienced that we have to think. (that's my spin at least.) Is that what the book talks about? If so, it gets a thumbs up from me! :)
OK, I read the excerpt. This is a must have, I see. Thanks, Flip.
Let me add this to my list Flip - thanks!
Hey Flip - thanks for sticking up for me over at Jetboy's - I really appreciate it!
I'll check it out.

I am piggybacking on this post because you are shedding attempts up at Self-Pity Central.
But this is not a supportive comment. It is what I consider a fact, which is that the truth will set you free. It will not make you or anyone else happy, and it will not solve all the problems in your life or in the world, but it will set you free. And THAT is a sunrise worth watching.
Boo Fucking Hoo to you, too.
"Nothing special," my ass.
Hang in there.
