Lonely, scared, mentally ill

Yet another day.

Watched a great documentary based on Chalmers Johnson's book, "The Sorrows of Empire." I thought of Orwell the whole time. The program details the neocon desire for perpetual war, propaganda used to scare the public and justify our loss of civil liberties, the smash-and-grab redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy via the war economy and tax cuts, resulting in international isolation and bankruptcy for the U.S. It's so absurd and illogical, and the propaganda techniques so heavy handed and diabolical, that I often laughed out loud as if I were watching Strangeglove rather than the ruin of my country.
