Syd is back blogging… saying it’s alright Ma, I’m only bleeding.

I feel much the same way he does. Angry about the past 8 years, angry at the direction that we seem to be headed in the next 4-8 years. But we just have to keep on, but we must be even more vigilant. The fight however seems difficult, since emotions are running high and rationality is losing ground. I understand emotions (including fear) and how that can lead to irrational thought, but it’s no way to run a railroad nor legislate nor govern… yet sadly, it’s the current modus operandi. Fear is our zeitgeist.

And I do agree that a new AWB isn’t going to happen… now. I think there’s bigger fish to fry (the economy), but there’s no question this administration is sowing the seeds. Thankfully there’s pushback, thankfully there are those that stand strong. That helps, but it doesn’t mean things are safe. Folks it’s simple… you lose (give up?) your ability to fight back, then you become a subject, a slave, and you’ll eventually lose everything else.

It’s hard being an optimist, but you gotta keep trying.
