Some might think it's better the aggressor continue unopposed, but I'm not one of them. The psychopaths must be stopped if there is to be a living future on Gaia. The good point to contemplate is that there has got to be a vast majority of our military now who will not execute with the alacrity we expect of heroes. Because we all know this is not heroism. It's why there's so much emphasis on drones. It's why Iran landing our drone rocks SO hard. I think the best hope we have of a decent life for living things is to hope our side is stopped. Yes, yes. It's not our side. It's the psychopaths'. Except we live here and we donate our kids to them and we... do... not... stop... them.

I seem to have flipped out of the sleepless cycle into the sleepfull cycle. There has been a dearth of interesting-to-me things to post. My generally noisy subscriptions have gone eerily quiet, and the stuff that is still going up might as well have been going up five years ago... the same old drill... the same old shit we have not fixed and I'm sick of yelling about. Contrary to almost everyone's belief, I only yell in an effort to push the energy in favor of action. When it is clear to me it has not and will not work, I stop.

It doesn't mean that's okay with me.

It just means I know when not even a mouse in the cotton-filled room into which I am screaming is hearing me.

I notice that it is just about past the time window last stated as when a seriously revolutionarily good thing is supposed by the denizens of out there to have happened. If it happened, I've missed it. To be fair, there is another week or so before this time window has closed, but... well... if we can't have it for a Valentine, maybe I'll get it for my birthday.
