1963
Got involved in the civil rights movement making sandwiches for the students who went south to integrate lunch counters.
Then posting posters against the creeping war in Vietnam. 55000 US young killed for nothing. Sort of like Iraq

I would say that I was awake before and now it is just too much for me. It's like the volume got turned up way too high.

I notice politics is not big on this sight.

I have tried for people to take notice of Nationaism is more dangerous than Religion. Also Richard Dawkins quoted this.

I woke up when I realized Obama and the Democratic Party where also corporatist-warmongers. I voted for him while in Iraq and it was the last vote I made out of ignorance.

I did but after a while it all got to be too much then I got off of Facebook and Twitter. Everything was the end of the world but then nothing happened. I know damage is being done by his cabinet but felt impotent to do anything about it. The guys an idiot and a criminal. I feel much better now not hanging on every word. I came to the conclusion that the imbecile actually has to directly harm more of his supporters to get him out of office. He seems to be doing that.

I am glad you woke up, better late than never.
