You Don’t Need A Weatherman

November 10, 2016 — counter revolution, danger, politics, revolution, weatherman

…to know which way the wind blows. Bob Dylan, Subterranean Homesick Blues.

Think about how perfect these lyrics are for America right now, 2016.  Suddenly everyone is surprised about the conditions that prevail.  We are swinging to the other end of the pendulum, my gentle readers.  It is time for the equal and opposite reaction of those who are disenchanted with government.  Initially these words were used to call out an oppressive secretive regime.  Today the vandals who took all the handles are the political parties themselves.  If we ever had a real revolution (doubtful, fellow boomers) now comes the obvious counter revolution. We said we believed in the winds of change.  Here they are.  They will huff and puff and blow this house down because we built it out of sticks.  If you are feeling homesick in your country, take responsibility for the future.  Take democracy seriously or it will vanish before our very eyes. I can’t give you any specific advise except to say this did not happen overnight and was not done by one person, one party, or even one country.  We have all been partners in this crime.  Wake up and smell the danger.
