everyone who deserves blame (including ourselves).”  Which makes me believe that this book would make a wonderful gift to anyone who thinks of themselves as a political dissident, and even more so for any younger person, still in school or college, that thinks they see Truth in the world around them.

 

One recurring theme that I particularly liked was the view that it has become far too easy for Americans to blame those in power, like George W. Bush, but that ultimately each and every one of us must take responsibility.  Listen to Mickey Z.: “Their participation in the twoparty farce and their acceptance of lesser evilism, however, are not seen as the problem by those in the know. It's all Bush's fault.   …There are no innocent bystanders when our money and/or rhetoric support the world's most powerful military and the corporate status quo. But if we just keep telling ourselves it's all Bush's fault, we can sleep better—our innocence wrapped around us like a big white SUV.”

 

In other words, there really are No Innocent Bystanders.  This easy-to-read and conscience-raising book is now available at Amazon.com [click here Take responsibility.  Get it.
