RE: Seeing Cheney up close and "The Banality of Evil"
Maybe the site of Dick Cheney at CPAC didn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up because your eyes and HIS eyes didn't meet.
A predator at rest or distracted does not frighten, but when you are caught in the gaze of the predator, that's different.
The modern predator like Cheney gets to have so many victims because they do it with the stroke of a pen or a nod. The modern predator just looks at the numbers and paperwork; we are expendable to them. We are as expendable as ants in ant hills as Cheney excavates the landscape to develop whatever suits his cold-hearted greed.
Look at Valerie Plame and Brewster Jennings and Anti-Nuclear Proliferation Intelligence.

Hello All

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
This Kush is totally sick. I'm moving to Humbolt County.
