at least around the nebulous idea of 'safety'.

But around the idea of damage done by this Confederacy of Dunces
Believe that title has been taken..

(Damage: to whom / by whom / to what effect?) - as surely relates to a sense of er, psychic? 'safety' within one's daily environment -

Believe that mere prose can only hint at the toxicity of these slime, compounded unquantifiably by the fact that: all Institutions failed to act upon basic tenets of the Country's founding principles!

Worst of all, within this dirty snowball of expectations: the vast plurality of Peepul Didn't Even Notice! - the magnitude of the lies, spin, and the underlying but Clear disdain of this cabal: for *Them*, in every sense of the relationship of a government to its 'governed'.

This is the stuff of Greek tragedy, and all we have around are the pipsqueaks of mundane carping. (Yeah too.. we all suffer for the loss of Irony as a viable tool..)

Now we are all forced to consider, in one form or another, the question --
does there remain much here today, actually Worth 'dying for'?
.. when you have to pause and think a while, before replying: that's what I Mean.
