What am I going to do, frigging protest? Like a frigging Egyptian? Walk like an Egyptian? No. I'm not going to bomb something either, I'm not Muslim. The American democracy must be stopped. It has not stopped itself. It spies on me, other Americans, on its friends, it interferes in other countries according to its interests, as in Egypt now and in countless other countries in the past. The American democracy is the biggest threat to freedom, not its defender, in the world. All I have ever asked of myself is that I try. Just do something. Don't just sit there like a stupid idiot and write on a stupid little blog. "Fly the black flag?" Is that trying? No. Read Chomsky? I will learn something from that. Chomsky has spent his whole life working for The Man at MIT, though. Faulkner said, "Some things you must always be unable to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. Not for kudos and not for cash--Just refuse to bear them." He tried by writing. He had more followers than Public Occurrences, though. Did he succeed even a little? Has Chomsky? Is the American democracy less statist, more just,  than when Faulkner "refused to bear injustice?" When Chomsky began on his anarchism? Absolutely NOT! America is worse, it has more power and exercises it more unjustly. They tried; in their own ways they tried their whole lives. If I keep trying by writing on a stupid blog, is that really trying when they have failed at writing with infinitely more influence, to an infinitely wider audience? Will I be satisfied "As I lay dying," to say to myself "You tried by writing Public Frigging Occurrences!! Hell no, Jack. My Civil War ancestor made a charge of "forlorn hope" up Marye's Heights. He knew he wouldn't succeed and he knew there was a great chance he would be killed. He still did it. And he was killed. THAT, by God, was trying. WWNBD. What would Nathan Bracken do?
