150 years later, the entire country has become The New South. Non-whites outnumber whites. The churches, the politicians, and the media of The Dominant Culture instill and inflame fear of The Other. Opposition to the status quo is met with increased intolerance and lethal violence. Do we remember having walked down this path before? Do we remember the lies we have been told so often? Do we remember how the churches, and the politicians, and the media of The Dominant Culture have been completely wrong about the reasons why we must now have war? Again?

Do we remember the evil cabal guiding the meat puppet's hand as he signed the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq on October 16, 2002?

Do we remember Julian Bond saying in 2004, "... As you know, there are many, many people, myself among them, who are convinced that President Bush has been an illegitimate president for four years."?

Do we remember when they were wrong about ... everything?

They were wrong about W.M.D's, they were wrong when they said it would be a short, cheap, war, and they were wrong when they said the war would stabilize the region.

The pre-ordained Republican nominee for the presidency said the current president "created" the latest threat in the Mid-East. Last August the pre-ordained Democratic nominee said essentially the same thing. The Wall Street Journal agrees.

It is as if nothing has ever happened before. There is no Cause and Effect. There are only the Spontaneous Effects we must constantly guard against. If there must be a cause to be named, it is the people whose skin colors are black, brown, or yellow. The only solutions presented to choose from are to oppress, kill, or enslave them. And then -- we will be free.

Stop the clock, and we can see the ghosts who live between the tick and the tock. The hollowed eyes of the limitless dead demand we look. But -- we do not remember their names any more.

Some 45 years ago I became aware of the fact that the government of The United States was trying to kill me. I wasn't paranoid or anything. I mean I knew the government wasn't out to kill me personally. They just wanted to kill as many Vietnamese (more...)
