Howl

There are nights when the wolves are silent, and only the moon howls.
- George Carlin
I've written repeatedly about how the mentally ill are terribly vulnerable to society. Go read.

And howl. This is your government.

The unfortunate reality is that many like cases mirroring this are repeated thousands of times over each and everyday. I stand as witness and testimonial to the abuses inflicted by these politicized power & greed mongers that leads to inhumane conditions for the vast majority of our most vulnerable citizens.

We as a nation, people, and society will surely be judged by not only our deeds of today, but by history itself in the moral measurement of how we have chosen to treat the most meek and needy among us.

This monumental problem is spear headed by disconnected top down system with a purposeful detachment from the fragile reality of our human condition. This cold and calculated reality directly and detrimentally effects the lives of those they are charged with serving in your name "The People" each and every day.

I happen to believe those interned innocent locked in this horribly dysfunctional system represent the most blatant examples of institutionalized disregard for our bill of rights and Constitution principles we have functioning in our society today.

If you know my political leanings, that above statement says a whole bunch of how strongly I feel about this issue.

I hope that those that would honor this call and challenge, would step forth and make your voice heard along side many others that are demanding substantive and radical change to this defunct & badly broken system.

OK, climbing down off my soap box now!

Stan, like I said over at your place, this sort of thing makes me ashamed of my country, for what our government does.
