7. "The banality of evil."

Our society is awash with it.....

* 30 to 40% brainwashed with right-wing dogma with little or no hope of rehabilitation.

* The remaining 60 to 70% (me included) has been far too complacent regarding the loss of community and the slow eroding of government viability and humanist values.

This thing clearly demonstrates the gross failures of unfettered capitalism and globalism which I've seen as doomed for eventual failure for a along time. Sometimes, old-fashioned common sense does shine. The pattern of slow, worsening inequality of income and asset ownership has been in plain sight for many years. Our populace has become enamored to it with our worship of wealth, privilege and celebrity rather than humility, humanism and environmentalism.

I'm proud to be a part of an exceptional group of folks here on DU that sees through that fog of denial.....
