nd. Recently 'discovering' Chris Hedges is a great gift to me. Yes, I've known of him for years, but his categorical dismissal of Pr. Obama from the beginning put me off and I've not been following his work. Chris is maybe even more scathing than I of the worthless liberals in this country, and yet he lays every possible shortfall in the Obama admin at Pr. Obama's feet seemingly oblivious to the fact that with a criminally do-nothing liberal constituency Pr. Obama is virtually powerless to do much. Deep sigh. But I still am now finding the deep and broad study of Chris a Godsend for me right now in my attempts to become less pitifully unable to help. It is as though my beloved (all of humanity) was desperately ill (as we are) and I thought I had to do all of the research to understand the disease. I knew the nature and direction but I had to devote the impossibly long time to understand the genesis, development, manifestations, characteristics... and by then, well, it would be so much later than it is already to try to be a better 'cure' than I've yet become. He is an impossible, a Divine gift to us, a True Prophet, if ever there has been one - in breadth,depth, courage, humanity, courage, Truth, Unconditional Loving.....
