A post yesterday on Information Clearing House by an an-ex Bernie Sanders campaign leader bemoaned the lost of American values and couldn't figure out what they were and how to retrieve them. It was sad that he showed no understanding of the core values of this country stemming from Capitalism with its greed for profit and power as the one(s) leading this country. The myth of decency and community was not addressed nor the contradiction betw them and the real ones that rule. This contradiction needs to be talked about as most people are too caught up in the Cognitive Dissonance about what this country is truly about. Not to deny there are decent, caring people around but their values are often skin deep when push comes to shove. As one 'liberal' person years ago said when confronted with her values that she supported all I said "as long as it was convenient!" And theren lies problem.

How much are cults involved in all of this? Is Harlan is treating Walmart-loving Clarence (whom he calls Justice Thomas) or the wife ("Ginni"). It appears that Ginni does a lot of the heavy-lifting in the horror-drenched mob that lurks at the door. It is perhaps only fitting that Harlan et al give her the luxury life she craves as reward for bringing them something much more intangible. Is that the definition of Lifespring?
