GC: Yes. We've just been through a 2-year long distraction known as a presidential campaign. A lot of youthful energy gets diverted and even older people who should know better get hypnotized again and again. The Neo-cons, the global elite, do not recognize national borders. They make their deals and then work with their media cohorts to convince their citizens they are acting in the citizens' best interests. It's really entangled. It's like a Greek tragedy, the way Antigone or Oedipus dig their own graves and won't take wise counsel.
But the Left has no choice but to be the Greek chorus-to keep lamenting, to keep sounding the alarm. You read people like Derrick Jensen and Morris Berman and you realize just how much we are teetering on the brink of cataclysm and ecocide. The Left has got to have the most dedicated, most rational, most passionate, and most organized activists if we are going to help this world steer clear of a millennial disaster.
LR: Thank you very much, Gary Corseri.
