I am by no means a Deep-thinker, but would it be wrong to say we are entering a new phase in our nation's political and social construct, a "Neo-Enlightment"?
The internet is washing away 40 years of conservative propaganda and I believe the masses are beginning to see the light.
We no longer have to conform to corporate interests of ABC/CBS/NBC,New York Times, etc.
We now have Greenwald, Eschaton, DailyKos, Digby, the list is simply endless, to seek out the truth and deilver it. And it is a self-feeding, self-realizing symbiotic relationship that blasts knowledge and insight out at lightspeed.
This is, in pragmatic, street-level terms, what DCLaw1 was talking about in the excerpted passage.
Not to get all touchy-feely, but I too have felt it coming. The Bush/Neocon Regime is in free-fall (when they perhaps are most dangerous)and I sense the rest of the country is awakening to their true insiduous nature.
So, is Neo-Enlightment a proper phrase?
