Speaking truth even though it won't change anything doesn't mean we shouldn't speak truth. Perhaps we look at speaking truth as planting seeds, and that we may not see the harvest in our lifetimes. I admire Christine Blasey Ford so much. She has so done a service to women everywhere. I'm definitely going to pick up that memoir!

Yes, planting seeds is a great way to look at it!

Thank you for your insightful review. I can so understand Ford’s confusion. “Why are they destroying me?” When you come from a place of non-violence and honesty, the other side just makes no sense.

So true. I think that’s where they get their power. They blindside us because we just don’t think that way.

It is hard to escape conclusion we are a failed state. Speaking truth ruins lives, opposing genocide and peacefully protesting gets you beat up and in jail, war spend gets trillions, billionaires make all the rules, we vote and get the same result with a different ugly face. Oh and by the way we have spent trillions covering up the existence of UFOS and lying about it. Not sure there is much left to save of this supposed democracy.
