   One of the most confusing feelings is when your stomach is full but your mouth is still hungry. . .if you know what I mean. . .

   That, of course, is one side of history, and, just as the other sides, it has been going on since civilization began. The “battle,” if you will, is ALWAYS the big guy against the little guy. Are you not aware that this happened when the printing press made the bible available to all? when the telegraph/transcontinental railroad/telephone/radio/television made news available to all? Are you not aware of the market square/coffeehouses/gossip mills? “yellow journalism”? Nothing new to see here: only that what’s happening is now sent round the world at a moment’s notice because of the internet. Oh, and that other thing: it’s affecting you personally. The question remains—as it does for every person in every generation: what are you going to do about it? Whatever you do, someone in the next generation will complain that you did the wrong thing, did not do enough, etc., etc., etc. . . .

   Au contraire. . .it’s very comforting to know that many, many, many people are aware of what’s REALLY going on. Perhaps our second “mccarthy era” won’t last as long as our first. . .

   A lot of people don’t connect the “heroes” of WWII with much of the repressive mccarthyism of the 1950s. . .and the entire cold war mentality . .
