Gary,
I salute your courage, because of the environment this article is being launched in will no doubt send a lot of e-sewage your way. Our country has become a very sad, pathetic satire of what it was supposed to be, and now the chickens really have come home to roost, dawn their lapel pins, and march off to their keyboards, talk radio microphones and appointments in the Bush administration to help steer this once honorable nation off the nearest cliff.
I'm disgusted by the paranoia and ignorance of the American people, who have once again have found a straw enemy to distract from the fact that we've created a country that is about to collapse from its own self-righteous greed, materialism and military aggression that will blow back in ways no one will have a clue how to deal with.
Wright's rants were based in very obvious truth, and it's no surprise that conservatives, who are not only profoundly ignorant to what happens around them but profoundly cowardly, had a fit about it and are using their usual blather to beat up on the first presidential candidate who shows both intelligence and leadership in decades.
I admire your piece and your courage in posting it, Mr. Kamiya. Hopefully it will inspire others to stay silent no longer.
