I see where Sac Town is coming from about anger morphing into apathy, and the soul rot that attends.
But anger is too destructive to ourselves. I just can't keep it up. (anger, that is). Was George Bush ever affected one iota by my anger? Or was it only me?
I'm pretty apathetic about things now. This administration may take the cake in many regards, but power has been a corrupt force always and everywhere. I still feel the way I feel about things. I still know evil when I see it and smell it. It's not required that I get riled up, it's not required that I go and "do something" about it. There's nothing I have to prove or demonstrate or accomplish in order for my soul to be pure and good. It just is.
Relax, SacTown, my brother - - you're a good soul. Nothing's gonna stop that. No warrantless NSA search can penetrate. Your soul is safe, and anger will only give you ulcers.
