Progressive Springfield

Doesn't seem like this blog is really getting off the ground. The frequency of my posts has slowed down secondary to the lack of response. I must also admit that my initial aggravation and "call to arms" feeling after the election, has now drifted to complacency and apathy. Which is exactly what the corporate right-wing ruling class wants, I guess. Or maybe they just don't care, 'cos there never really seems to be much I can do to fight them anyway.

It would be fun to be an activist and spend all my time pushing for progressive reform. Who knows what good it would do. But the reality is, I have a job, I have other responsibilities, and after the high emotions fade, I fall back into the day to day routine, paying my bills, feeding my cat, taking out the garbage, worrying about my daughter, etc...

I'd like to believe that, on the horizon, there is an evolution of consciousness that will occur in the human race. More and more, people will realize, "Hey...killing thousands of people on false pretenses just ain't right," or "Hey...it just isn't right for the rich to keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer." Maybe. I'd like to believe that, anyway. I'd like to see that in my lifetime.
