Hello Dag!
I Carry you in my 'heart', and assure you that I've been
nearly-Killing myself trying to reach the folks in Washington, D. C.
with respect to the extreme-Consequences of the opacity through which
they believe they 'see' reality.
It's not that Mr. Bush is not a decent man. He is. It's just that
he's allowed himself, except for Colin Powell, to be surrounded by a
bunch of 'bullies' whose experience is overly-inbred with respect to
'in-the-Beltway' stuff [ "the Beltway" refers to the highway that
circumnavigates W.D.C., and which tends to 'mark a perimeter' of the
in-group cognitive in-breeding that has supplanted independent
thought in the Capitol of 'america' ever since the days of WWII.
In the current, Sorrowful, situation, all that Mr. Bush's 'advisors'
[with the exception of Colin Powell] have done is to 'dust-off'
archaic Cold-War 'play-books', and impose their stuff upon Mr. Bush.
There's a Sorrowful correlate of NDT's stuff in-there - the
'advisors' are experiencing the biological reward that accompanies
'reversion' to old, long-familiar stuff, and they're 'reveling' in
what they're experiencing as the 'newly-occuring' "usefulness" of the
archaic stuff to which they've 'reverted'.
It's a Frightening instance of the Costs of NDT's understanding not
having been generally communicated - if NDT's stuff had been
generally communicated, a while back, the sorts of behavioral
dynamics that are unfolding in W. D. C. would've become
unthinkably-stupid by now.
Anyway, I've been nearly-Killing myself in effort to reach the folks
who're doing all this to Humanity.
They're not 'bad' people. They're 'just' awesomely-Victimized by 'the
beast', Abstract Ignorance, and, in the TD E/I(up) that they carry
within themselves, their behavior is inflicting the
'blind'-automation that derives within their nervous systems upon the
rest of Humanity.
Folks can help them out - help them to See, and Correct the Errors
inherent in their actions by =gently= insisting that they carefully
explain the 'rationale' which underpins their actions.
Doing such =gently=, but insistently, will give them the experiential
stuff that will enable to See that there exists an enormous
collection of far-better ways of going forward into the future.
And it falls to Governments, everywhere, to carry out such persistent
requiring of explanatory 'rationale' - on behalf of their own
Citizenries.
You know... help them See that they just don't See.
I'm doing what I can, but it's hard, because my 'bully pulpit' is of
microscopic dimensions - - I've been 'confined' to being something
akin to a 'knat'. Still, I 'buzz-around' a lot, doing what I can, in
my 'knat'-sized way.
Would that things were otherwise.
Cheers, Dag, I hold you, and and your Kindred spirits, in my 'heart'.
