On being a good American
By Michael Tivana, March 4, 2006

I ask my fellow Americans what they are willing to do to save their world?

Am I a good American? This is the question the Germans had to ask themselves after WWII.

I ask my friends that get really upset with what is going on in our country

The ones that get outraged by what Bush is doing and frightened because they can see the train wreck coming down the tracks

I ask them if they have any triggers that would be the last straw, the line, the over the edge, the too far, if there are things that would make them leave and become ex-patriots? Then I ask if they have a lifeboat to get into if they leave?

One good friend answered that she couldn't leave because she had just remodeled her kitchen. Oh that explains why there were so many Germans in Berlin in 1945, they had just remodeled their kitchens.

When the bombs dropped on Germany they did not discern between the good and bad Germans. The bombs were karma to all Germans good and bad. The bad karma Bush is reaping on America is 100 times worse than what Hitler did for Germany.

- - When Hitler bombed Guernica, Spain it changed the face of war and bombing civilians was suddenly the norm. When Bush bombed Fallujah it became the norm to bomb civilians with chemical weapons of mass destruction (white phosphorous bombs). The rest of the world knows this, but most Americans do not. The danger we face and the solution is in the separation between fiction and truth. Close this gap and perhaps public opinion will change to end this madness once and for all. The latest PEW poll shows how 47% of Americans favor using military action to strop Iran's nuclear weapons program. Iran doesn't even have one.

I have three triggers when I will throw in the towel and say this drama is too far gone to change from the inside out: the national ID card with RFID tags, mandatory vaccinations and quarantines for a disease, and nuclear war.

So I ask if you have any triggers and what your response would be.

The time to make a stand on the street corner is coming around again. Demonstrating in the streets is for some an exercise in futility, but for most it is the building of a movement that will save the world if it is successful, one honk, one thumbs up at a time. For the sake of our sons and daughters failure is not an option.

Change of the magnitude that it will take to discharge Bush before the Bush Doctrine discharges the world will take the people participating in massive civil disobedience on the order we saw in Bolivia, Ecuador, Ukraine, Peru, Indonesia, Argentina, Venezuela and so forth. These are current, valuable illustrations of how people take control of their country.

Does America have the stomach and the courage to risk their material possessions to save the world? One can only hope.
