No question, we're losing our guaranteed freedoms everyday. But one good thing about this democracy is that it cycles historically. There are social movements that keep and/or restore democratic principles on a fairly regular basis. Some are more notable than others, but the history of this country says they go on far more frequently than in most histories. I think that's the problem....we're long overdue....it's been building for quite a while...I don't know about you, but I have a sense of pressure building, of something imminent. Many of us seem to be holding our breaths, waiting for the upheaval. I'd rather have that than this suffocating, paralyzing disintegration of our rights. And if we handle the upcoming upheaval intelligently, we might be able to prove Jefferson wrong...and wouldn't he be proud!
