Thank you for your eloquence. I am kind of in a "locked in" syndrome where I am watching what is happening and cannot speak! It is too much horror and too much suffering. I need to do more to alter this disastrous course, but what???

Bring on the era of old AOL cds. I have a huge stash of them in my craft shed. And isn't that just the sort of ludicrous symptom of a throwaway culture that makes me feel both privileged and paralyzed.
