"Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides." Thomas Paine 1776 Common Sense
What is the prevailing US common sense in 2012? For 40% of Americans it's war, corporatism, abolition of aide for the poor, removal of minimum wage laws and unions and the right to bear arms. For many that's Gospel Truth. Comprehensive environmental and financial deregulation, profit margins in warmaking, Pax Americana, death by pollution, the coming end of oil and proliferation of nuclear arms. Wrapped up in the flag and Jesus. The mass of Americans kept in the dark by all available media outlets.
This seems a profoundly dangerous model. Especially for our children.
