When America Is Burning.....

....it is time for sturm und drang. It is too bad that there is so much talk and so little do among the citizenry. We need MORE sturm und drang as our nation sinks to an all time low.

It is true that we need a break now and then lest all the bad news overwhelm us, but we must never weaken nor give up. The future of our country and of our progeny depends on what we do now.

    i agree. nothing much has changed on the horizon. the baddies are going to be and have been working full tilt for tyranny and looting. we have folks who don't give a flying you know what about the environment, people of color or the poor around the world. these are the people in power. they are the ones fighting to stay in power. we may not win but we can fight and lay the foundation for generations to come. "these are the times that try men's souls..."

    FWY: No dummy. Raising heck is a good slang word for it.

    Granny: thanks for the proper definition.

    Betmo: Amen. Right On!

    Raising heck says it just as well and I'll be raising more of it along with you.

    Granny is no stranger to sturm und drang. She is an experienced activist and has many battles under her belt.

    But even soldiers in the field have moments of respite and sometimes even R&R, a break everyone needs, especially when there are other personal issues involved. There are times soldiers and activists need a time-out, a change of pace, to back off and regroup. Or else go raving nuts.
