Lining up to dive over a cliff

[Flying Dream Blues]

3. I feel the same way.

It's as if I'm embarrassed for humanity, and especially our country, on so many levels. Embarrassed for the naked greed our leaders operate under and for the blatant denial of destruction we've caused, embarrassed that all of that is hypocritically draped in the spreading of freedom or the defense of ours, embarrassed for how easily duped or bought we are, ashamed at how little we've (I've) been willing to do about it.

It's not as if this hasn't always been happening, but there was at least a veneer of civility and caring that is no longer bothered with, or needed, apparently, in order to be successful. Truly embarrassing and shameful, what it's come to. It's almost hard to believe the lack of outrage at what comes out of these people's mouths!
