There are some days when I get discouraged. I get tired of hearing myself rant. It's during those times I wonder if I misnamed this blog. Maybe instead of "daily" I should have named it "weekly" or "monthly". But often at those times, a comment comes along that splashes water in my face, puts my mouthpiece in again and shoves me back towards center ring. Such is a comment I received over the weekend.

I've brought it up to the front page to share with all and to thank "anonymous" for the renewed energy I've felt since reading it. Here's that comment in its entirety. Thanks again!

Oh my God, Dada, You are so much the HERO for me!

I have felt so angry, enraged, saddened and disgusted...for entirely too long. It is extremely hard to KNOW, while others just sleep at the wheel..."Everything is just hunky dory in the world/in our country...let's just act as if all is well". I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your "voice" right now.

As a marine mom, and a person who loves her country (and fights wholeheartedly to keep it's innate values intact) I have been tortured daily by the collective inertia. THANK YOU for your persevering outrage and for giving voice to the injustices being executed in my/our name(s) with my/our tax dollars.

Please folks, reach out past 'the choir' with the excellent resources of information that Dada is providing. If we don't express our furious disgust now, not to each other but to those who haven't a clue, we'll likely all end up in concentration camps together, or the American equivalents. The neo-cons are not going to wait for our engraved invitations to stop their sh*t. They don't give a hoot what we think or feel, or whether we are suffering, or not. They have an agenda and they plan to see it through. They've been working it for at least a quarter of a century. They've collected a lot of power in that time. They now use and abuse it.

Last I heard, this is still a country of the people, for the people and BY THE PEOPLE. That would be you and me...so we better get pissed off enough to activate the neighbors, or we will soon circle the drain.

I'm starting to feel like the sacrifices we are making as a collective are not quite registering yet...unless you are contributing a family member.

Are you missing out on a good nights sleep, for MONTHS/years at a time? Living WAY too close to the edge to survive?

My son and I are. Perhaps if you have missed a full night or two of restful sleep, you'll recognize where we are coming from. It is crazy making, and should not be carried by only the few.

Get on board, please. We are getting a bit over extended here, and it's time for YOU to sacrifice a little in this cause as well.

Do you see the problem, feel well informed and still don't know 'what to do'?

HOLD OUR 'LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE'! Educate the uninformed. Blitz your congress members with informative mail about how you FEEL. Show up as a warm body at EVERY protest. Bombard your family and friends with Truth Out articles , Democracy Now, etc...until they start referring to you as 'Cassandra', (and question your sanity/avoid you like the plague).

PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!! Some of us are carrying too much of the burden/cause. We are tired, and yet know it must be carried.

Peace is the ideal.
