WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MY (US)A ???

Like the title says, what did happen to the country where I was born, raised and believed that we were a free, democratic society??? There came a point during the last year when I thought that the news could not get any worse.............but it has. My mantra for 2006 is 'educate yourself on ponerology'. If you think you know your family, your neighbors, your congressmen, your employer - you don't. What I mean by this is, if there is an individual in your life who is making things difficult for you, someone who stops your progress as an individual, always shows up at the most inopportune times and creates 'drama' in your life, someone who emotionally terrorizes you, then just keep on reading my friend.

I've posted exerpts from a couple of articles I found to be an amazing eye-opener for me this early AM. Just read on, if you care about your future.

Here's one by Bill Moyers (from PBS fame) (exerpt below).

.........THIS IS A TIME of testing - for people of faith and for people who believe in democracy. How do we nurture the healing side of religion over the killing side? How do we protect the soul of democracy against the contagion of a triumphalist theology in the service of an imperial state? At stake is America's role in the world. At stake is the very character of the American Experiment - whether "we, the people" is the political incarnation of a spiritual truth - one nation, indivisible - or a stupendous fraud.

There are two Americas today. You could see this division in a little-noticed action this spring in the House of Representatives. Republicans in the House approved new tax credits for the children of families earning as much as $309,000 a year - families that already enjoy significant benefits from earlier tax cuts - while doing next to nothing for those at the low end of the income scale. This, said The Washington Post in an editorial called "Leave No Rich Child Behind," is "bad social policy, bad tax policy, and bad fiscal policy. You'd think they'd be embarrassed but they're not." ...........

You need to follow that up with an article written by Laura Knight-Jadczyk entitled "Political Ponerology" (you know, ponerology, the study of evil). read here.....

.........The actions of [pathocracy] affect an entire society, starting with the leaders and infiltrating every town, business, and institution. The pathological social structure gradually covers the entire country creating a “new class” within that nation. This privileged class [of pathocrats] feels permanently threatened by the “others”, i.e. by the majority of normal people. Neither do the pathocrats entertain any illusions about their personal fate should there be a return to the system of normal man. [Andrew M. Lobaczewski, Ph.D. (psychology); Political Ponerology: A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposes] .........
