Found a wonderful article by Chris Hedges today on Truthout. It was uplifting in a real and promising way. No New Agey stuff about 2012, just the facts on the inevitability of collapse of corrupt systems. We need more like this:
Don't say you weren't warned...
"America
is immune to all appeals. Her people do not understand the language
of the poet. They do not wish to recognize suffering - it
is too embarrassing. They do not greet Beauty with open arms - her
presence is disturbing to heartless automatons. Their fear of
violence drives them to commit insane cruelties. They have no
reverence for form or image: they are bent on destroying whatever
does not conform to their pattern, which is chaos. They are not
even concerned with their own disintegration, because they are
already putrescent. A vast congeries of rotting sepulchres, America
holds for yet a little while, awaiting the opportune moment to
blow itself to smithereens."
- Henry Miller
