Changes I been goin' thru

It's possible I shouldn't have written that last post yesterday. I was tired, and a bit disappointed in a couple of things. I really try not to go deep personal here but it does impact my reactions and perceptions.For instance, it's pretty damn obvious why I'm not a Republican. So I'm not writing that essay. Some things are better handled by a visit than by shouting across a room. And being a fractional Pan-Africanist (in that I feel part of the reason it would be good for Black folks in the USofA to get our shit together is so we can help Black Africans survive…we, the wealthiest, most educated, most powerful children of Africa on the planet can help, and Bush has demonstrated that few others will without exacting a price I'm not sure Africa can pay)…well, the preceding parenthetical explained my anger so I'm just leaving it like that.

My anger is keyed by specific opinions and actions. My frustration goes beyond that…it comes from watching the thought processes that generate the opinions and actions, processes that seem to spew error after excuse after error. The fundamental problem seems to be that people think they're okay without ever referring to reality as long as they are internally consistent. This error is central to the neocon approach, so I'd probably be too damn through with them even if they were raining manna on the masses.

And I so want to address the thought pattern sometimes…but that's not what P6 does. So I may have to create another, more low-key venue
