Posted on May 26, 2022 by John Rachel

Getting together, whether it’s to dance, or to protest the abuses and humiliations we all endure just trying to survive, or to show up en masse at the polls and vote the pay-for-play lapdogs of the rich and powerful out of office, or to just talk to one another and try to sort out the mess our country is in — yes, getting together — is exactly what we must be doing!

It is what it isn’t. It’s probably not what it appears to be. Truth is relative. Facts belong to the highest bidder. So … is there a solution to this mess? Anything we can do to reverse this descent into cognitive chaos? Continue reading →
