Shame

There is a time for shame: shame can be good. Shame helped propel the Peace Movement of the 60's, with it's revulsion against patriotic symbols. There was an intimation of shame with Abu Ghraib. Nevertheless, the time is not ripe yet to indulge the impulse. Because it wasn't MY government that did this: it was THEIR government. THEIR Supreme Court, THEIR proto-fascist jackboot neoconservative mentality. False election means false legitimacy. I'll indulge shame after the election.
