Arthur Meiselman's "A Time to Love, A Time to Hate (revisited)" is a cry out of the wilderness. Americans, for the most part , are sitting on a cushion of TV ads and the hype of "experts" commenting about and evaluating for us what the power elite wants us to hear. Soft sell, hard sell, its all the same. As American revolutionary Tom Paine put it:: "There is but one agitator and his name is Injustice". That statement still holds true. We need another revolution today, an evolutionary one, where the pain of others over what the government does in our name is not longer taken for granted. What happens to others might very well happen to us. And that has happened to us. Violence produces violence, and no amount of happy consumerism will cover over that fact.
