I have finally decided to pick up my social musings and commentary again as I have pretty much gotten past the internalization of the shit that goes on. I realize that on one level i really cannot do anything about the creeping anti-intellectualism that many conceive of as the mark of a "real" American. The rampant distrust of so-called elites, fostered by the gas bags of the right, as incarnated by the ex-governor of Alaska, seems to be in the DNA of the political process in this country since the aptly named "Know Nothings" of the 19th century. I am quite sure that those who embrace this mindset run for the offices of the medical "elite" everytime they get a fart crossways, as my grandfather used to say. I mean, why not just go to Joe the Plumber, rather than those pointy-head, intellectuals with all those letters after their name, like MD or PhD or RN, you betcha.
I digress. I am going to pick this up again, and I hope it will be readable, and thought provoking. That is all I can ask.
