Clarification
That last entry rambled and rambled without really qualifying my point. The solution to this predicament, as i see it, is one of panacea. If we become truly excited about the political shaping of the modern world, and begin to initiate ourselves as real democrats (demos means people... people), then reshaping our political sphere is as easy as locating the tools with which to do so (and, just fyi, they're with us already... thank the populists). By removing our government-issue hypocracy blinders and recognizing the fears handed down to us in the form of tax cuts and wire taps, we can turn the "terrorists'" biggest weapon against those perepetuating terror. But as a people, cease banality toward those you elect, use the tools available to you, and the dream-government you wish for will be yours. The problems of the future are only as real as we allow them to be. Music doesnt stand still, should you?
