Now I realize I’VE drunk some Kool-Aid. Ick. How do we purge ourselves and see truer and cleaner/clearer on both sides? No one has clean hands and even each of us harbors some unsavory stuff. I’m working on sending receiving and send love. Sometimes my reptilian brain takes over (gets into a terrible “Brainstem-storming session!).
By the way, research has shown this to be true: when viewing political ads, the frontal lobes do not engage. We make decisions not based on what we are seeing, but on what we have already decided. Interesting. So I wonder what good the ads are? I guess only for the truly open and UNdecided.
Working to be more open,
Sunny

Just for the record, not everyone on this listserv has drunk your KoolAid, and I’m offended by your language in the message below and the one that succeeds it.

Jonathan Chait says the hidden camera video that went viral yesterday exposes Mitt Romney "as a far more sinister character than I had imagined. Here is the sneering plutocrat, fully in thrall to a series of pernicious myths that are at the heart of the mania that has seized his party. He believes that market incomes in the United States are a perfect reflection of merit. Far from seeing his own privileged upbringing as the private-school educated son of an auto executive-turned-governor as an obvious refutation of that belief, Romney cites his own life, preposterously, as a confirmation of it..."
"The revelations in this video come to me as a genuine shock. I have never hated Romney. I presumed his ideological makeover since he set out to run for president was largely phony, even if he was now committed to carry through with it, and to whatever extent he'd come to believe his own lines, he was oblivious or naïve about the damage he would inflict upon the poor, sick, and vulnerable. It seems unavoidable now to conclude that Romney's embrace of Paul Ryanism is born of actual contempt for the looters and moochers, a class war on behalf of his own class."
