This is not merely where we're going, folks, this is where we are. Wake up. Let's get off of our butts! We have one of two choices: put a stop to this atrocity, or passively learn to live with it -- like lemmings marching off the cliff into the sea; like corporate-controlled robots. I don't think this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind. How's that for understatement?
In the late winter of 1980, I was a student at Orange County Community College in Middletown, NY. One afternoon, my alarmed sociology professor, Dr. William Byrne, told his all-but clueless class -- "In the years to come this country will move so far to the extreme right, in 30 years you won't even recognize it."
At the time I thought he was just a tad paranoid. As it turns out, maybe not. Call it a hunch on my part, but I've got a funny feeling that the good doctor might have been onto something.
