when?

When did truth and honor, conscience and care, respect for debate intelligence and education stop being the norm for the American public, and fiction and fable, disregard and gluttony, screaming and harassment, ignorance and absence of knowledge take charge.

Why, when we need smart do we see silly and insincere. Why when we crave thought we are thrown into mass hysteria based on baseless bigotry. Why when we strive for change we get charades and quick tempered, uneven abruptness leading to chaos and hooliganism.

Why is it when Politicians are caught in the act of ugly, they only haphazardly apologize, never admitting the misdeed, but suggesting that if in fact anyone was offended then well begrudgingly they silently say sorry.

Why can people like Glenn Beck suggest poisoning the Speaker of the House, Evangelical Leadership admit that if the President were to be assassinated he wouldn't be upset, that those who say they are closer to God, because they are a Priest, Minister or Rabbi, speak for their God as a non caring entity, Godless in power and Godless in understanding equality, fairness and humanity. And why does no one speaks out loud against their inhumanity?

When did mediocre become cool? When did those with reason rhyme and rationale become silenced?

When do we begin to take back an America that believes, that includes, that strives for more than mediocre excellence?

I get so tired of the maniacs managing the manger. So tired of the thugs taking the streets. So sick of the insane running the asylum.

Too much, too little and if we don't begin to challenge the change we voted for for too late!
