SSW - Bitching about it IS doing something about it. As long as you are talking about it with others you are fighting the propaganda and lies with truth and that IMHO is fighting. I'm sorry you don't feel like it is enough and perhaps for you it is not. If it isn't then you should decide what more you can do and do it. But to say that just bitching about it is the same as denying it is just plain wrong. Denial removes power of action because you can't fix something you won't acknowledge needs to be fixed and attack others for trying to fix it. By bitching about it you are trying to get others out of their denial so that together we can all work to change things because otherwise all you'll do is fight others who deny anything needs fixing.

I hope this makes sense and of course it's all just my opinion. But as they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. This is just as true in other areas of life not just substance abuse. I understand you frustration my friend and I hope you find something to empower yourself with in this fight. It will re-energize you to feel like you are making a difference and keep you from feeling powerless and defeated. Sending you love and blessings.

Blessed be~

With its pathological lying, secrecy, and brilliant propagandizing the Administration has Rating: 5
