Acquiescence

"There is a horrible scandal eating away the heart of the American body politic," writes Chris Floyd. "Among the many corrupted currents loosed upon the nation by the Bush Regime, this scandal is perhaps the worst, for it abets all the others and breeds new pestilence, new perversions at every turn."

This scandal comes not from the highest echelons of corporate power, the hallowed halls of Congress, or the obscured workings at Langley. Rather, it comes from within our own hearts and minds...the scandal is us.
