Quizling and Deja Vu

[ravan]

Which CowBoy BeBop Session Are You?

Yes, lots of past - past life! The current sociopolitical events are like deja vu to me. I've been here before, just the clothes, the language, and the "enemies" were different - yet not too different. I was younger then, and didn't understand what was happening. All I knew is that I had no voice, no way to go other than do what was expected, and die because of it.

The cold pit in my stomach about the current administration and congress just won't go away. I want to wake up one day and have all of the chickenhawks, the religious right, the coldwar criminals and the hypocritical neoconservatives be gone, and take their totalitarian frog boiling with them. It didn't happen before, so I doubt it will now.

What must I do to keep it from going the horrible way it went before? How many iterations of this crap must I live through to stop it soon enough?

*Gaaah.* You teach by example. I should've clipped my quiz results last night. Page has been updated. Thanks for the discreet hint.

Best answer to your question I can think of came from one of Gerry's kids (HPS you don't know):

"Remember, it's a spiral, not a circle. Events do repeat themselves, but not exactly. We learn a little with each repeat, though never as much as we hope we will."

That's my $0.02. Anyone else?
