noam chomsky glenn greenwald with liberty and justice for some
Equal protection under the law and innocent until proven guilty, two principles upon which USA stands, no longer exist. Violations, while easily identified, seem to make little difference to an apathetic public. A two-tier system of justice exists with few challenging the system. With economic inequality growing exponentially, I wonder how long it will take before public resistance begins?

Even educated liberals seem oblivious to the loss of liberty in the US. It's like mental inertia, assuming our country hasn't changed. When I try to explain that democracy and justice have changed, I'm taken to be spouting extremism.

That is what I experience, too. It seems to me problems grow so fast, creating unnecessary suffering, and many don't want to look at the facts. I guess at my age I have no need for approval, so I just keep on ... sadly, that sounds like harping and it is easy to discount one who harps.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
