Citizens who have the most to lose either don't read or can't read or can't read between the lines. This means that the propaganda machine of written and visual media has seeped into the gullible brains of the newly "educated." That's not even counting those poor highly educated who are just too busy to bother paying attention to the disintegration of their democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-55910001682649127272015-07-20T09:47:47.992-04:002015-07-20T09:47:47.992-04:00Stop it.

The widespread acceptance of that basic little superstition really does have political and tangible consequences. When we allow ourselves to believe that some power of the universe will take care of the bullies and the offenders to civilized society, we let ourselves off the hook. Fact is that in life more pricks and bullies succeed and do so non-stop because nobody does the hard work to truly check their assholery. We think karma will do it, or someone else. <br /><br />Cuomo will only be checked by the people of the state saying no to him in detail and in a loud sustained way. This requires reading, informing one's self rigorously, communicating effectively, and devoting good amounts of time. I have no faith that that will happen. Cuomo is power...entrenched power. Petitions and polls don't bother him the way they would with others in less entrenched power positions. We cannot depend upon the karma of Preet either. Removing a Cuomo, like removing a bully, requires real effort. In fact, Cuomo is proof that karma is a nonsensical superstition....imagine the people he was a prick to, probably since age 3. All those people now see him as Governor of the State of New York. The bully pricks tend to win in life, and the only way they don't is when the communities around them intervene in real ways. The community around Cuomo is now the however millions of folks of the state. <br /><br />Cuomo is our problem. He is actually a symptom of a larger problem....he was a known quantity long ago and yet he was elected twice. Thats on us. Sorry.
