Class war is also war. There is more to psychology than self-medication for the troubled, SSRIs for the moderately dysfunctional, and anti-psychotics for the very troubled. Isn't there? I couldn't help but notice that the little trick memory plays on our conscious minds of forgetting about trauma, kind of scabbing and healing is very like what happens on this site: We meet interesting people and get to sample their thoughts and then we immediately forget what we didn't know five minutes ago, or that we didn't know it.It seems to me that war-mongering takes advantage of these blind spots by hammering away at our attention It always seems to start with something new. Did you know they sank a patrol boat in the golf of Tonkin? Did you know...whatever, and builds from there. I have to thank MG for reminding us that we can actually get up, dust ourselves off and walk away. A lesson that doesn't require action or revenge, just awareness.
