Republican illiteracy, ignorance and lack of morality, and to the unbelievable arrogance in comparing adult citizens to her children and presuming to "teach them a lesson." It certainly should be a concern that such a Puritan powermonger could be holding public office. But I disagree that we should "be afraid--very afraid."
Fear accomplishes nothing. When I learned that one of the two rightwing Bushite corporations that 'counted' 80% of the nation's votes in 2004, using "TRADE SECRET," PROPRIETARY programming code, with virtually no audit/recount controls, was ES&S, a spinoff of Diebold (the other rightwing Bushite corporation that 'counted' our votes under a veil of secrecy), and that ES&S was initially funded by rightwing billionaire Howard Ahmanson, who also gave one million dollars to the extremist 'christian' Chalcedon Foundation, which, among other things, touts the death penalty for homosexuals, and then when I learned where the name "Chalcedon" comes from--the Church Council in 451 AD at which a narrow, patriarchal faction of the new religion gained ascendancy, banned and anathematized all other views, and cemented church and state together, with this narrow faction's views to be enforced by the sword, thence to a thousand years of darkness, witchburnings, bookburnings, inquisitions, pogroms, annihilations of Pagans, Jews and other Christians, ignorance, misery, serdom, slavery, the loss of literacy, the loss of the entirety of classical learning in medicine, biology, mathematics, engineering, astronomy, architecture, philosophy, religion, literature and the arts, and the utter oppression of the human mind and caging of the human spirit...
I was not afraid, just more determined than ever to defeat them.
Because, in fact, the human mind is ever curious, and the human spirit cannot be caged. Those who try to cage it will always lose, in the end, and will gain nothing of true joy, which derives from unfettered learning, discovery and creativity. The human brain is itself a revolution, and it creates rebellion and revolution. Its goal is freedom, and the lesser brains among us cannot change this. THAT is "the law" of HUMAN nature.
