The Man is dead. Long live The Man.

I was just realizing that my whole full-time working life (2001-now) has been spent under the boot of the Bush administration and most of it under an extreme right-wing Congressional majority. It's hard to break out of certain reactive ways of thinking, and not be completely bitter and paranoid all the time.

I think that all progressive organizer-type-people should be sent to some kind of detox-counseling-yogic ashram to release some of the tension, resentment and fear of the last six years. Not that our problems are over, but...it's kinda hard to do your thing when we have this national case of political PTSD.
