MLK and Gandhi didn't create positive change by damning their opposers, they did it by seeing them as victims of a corrupt, hypocritical, cannibalistic system, and worthy of just as much love and care as those who they oppressed.

Waiting...

So please, let's everybody, calm down and relax.

Shit happens every single day, and it sucks.

But, we're gonna make it, by God.

If you think about it, a few hundred years is not so long. Recall some of your favorite people--inspiring figures or heroes, especially from the past. They likely seemed to have ideas ahead of the time in which they lived, ideas which were more evolved than what the society at large at that time was capable of handling, understanding, integrating.

DISCLAIMER to E+: Please excuse the sparing use of (censored) profanity in my post; it's relevant.

People seem to be realizing that shit is going down, and it's going down hard. It's in the news (I hear), and my boss is talking.

Please excuse my crudeness; I'm out of practice.

This is what I'm doing now. Writing, typing at my computer, sitting on the floor. The tv's on in the other room.
