So I'm sitting here reading news and blogs and such like, right after spending 8 hours writing a particularly difficult paper for my library science class. And I had a sort of epiphany. I say sort of, because it's not really anything new or earthshattering, or anything like that. But it's a quiet realization and one that gives me almost elation.
Regardless of what occurs on Tuesday, or in the aftermath of Tuesday ...
Regardless of the reasons why the following is true, ...
In the past few months I've witnessed the greatest resurgence of democracy in my country that I can ever recall, especially in people around my age and a little younger. This is the generation baby boomers were writing off as pathetic, whiny and apathetic only a few years ... nay, months ... ago. When we have to, we learn, we organize and we stand up to the knife the short-sighted, power-mad bastards have at our collective throats. And regardless of how the fascist newthink of the Radical Right wants to play it, we can make ourselves heard. We have been heard. We will be heard.
Tuesday ... Slightly less than 34 hours to go till the polls open where I live. This is the home stretch.
Call people. Beg people. Cajole people. Drag people bodily to the polls. Do something!
The revolution starts ...
Now.
