The game back then was Super Mario. Kids were fighting alone against the games. Now, they join together, online. Perhaps this is a good sign. Perhaps they will learn to become activists, fighting partisan, dirty politics at local levels, then state levels and then national levels. Maybe they will band together to build strength and resources. Currently, one of the more popular games is one created by the army, that actually identifies game players who would make good recruits.There's a game built by evangelicals that has players fighting and killing non-believers. Maybe a game company will develop a game or games in which the fight is not simply against invading aliens, or bad guys, but against fascists, against corporatists and extremists who betray democracy. It's possible.

Meanwhile, remember that the people who tell us they're okay, who say they're taking care of us and protecting us-- they are the ones we need to watch. Because of late, they are the most dangerous people on the planet- the ones we have woken up to discover are the monsters in our nightmares.

(Actually, at the start of writing this article, I mistyped dream as "gream."  Since dreams are the realm of the subconscious, and writing about them is too, perhaps a gream is a grim dream, or a dream about greed. What do YOU think?)

A few declarations.
-While I'm registered as a Democrat, I consider myself to be a dynamic critic of the Democratic party, just as, well, not quite as much, but almost as much as I am a critic of republicans.
