America, today, is in a semi-comatose state, battered by exaggerated threats of terrorism, outright lies and enough government corruption to make the Soprano clan come off looking like the Von Trapp family.

Americans have a tendency to think that all is well in Washington as long as we’re assured it is. Sometimes, it takes a few years for the populace to wake up. Perhaps, now, with a new Administration scandal breaking almost daily, Americans will finally realize that Bush has not only broken the Middle East and international law but our system of government as well.

Some of us, of course, have smelled the putrid odor of the Bush camp from the outset (earning ourselves the label of “radical Lefties”). With 70% of Americans deeming the Iraq war a mistake, a majority stating that the country is heading in the wrong direction and with Bush’s popularity rating right up there with hemorrhoids, perhaps this country is heading towards its own “radical” phase. You know, the mind-set of the radicals who founded this grand experiment way back when.

Cindy Sheehan ended her letter with “Good-bye America…you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

“It’s up to you now.”

Yes, it’s up to us. All of us.

To quote the learned Jefferson Airplane: “Got a revolution, got to revolution.”

Stay informed, blog, march, organize, rant to your local representatives, break down the issues into neighborly talk.

And keep your mitts off the remote for a couple of hours a day.
