Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Over One Million People Protest Trump Ascension



It has been overwhelming to witness the size of yesterday's protests on behalf of human rights, and against the type of campaign run last year by the new occupant of the White House.  The march in Washington is reported to have been significantly larger than the inaugural crowd.

This is a most welcome surprise.  The United States is not complacent, not shrouded in cynicism, or paralyzed by fear.  Of course, a continual watchfulness must be adopted to guard against a propaganda wave from the White House, a wave which has already arisen.

But whatever else may be gleaned from the news about yesterday, it is clear there is something deeper under way in America -- something far more significant than bombast, braggadocio, and ballyhoo.
