"A Change is Gonna Come" is a classic invoking so many emotions, high and low. Sam Cooke, oh my, he was great!D.K.

But that is an improvement over all days bad. I can hardly wait til Nov 4th!<BR/><BR/>I love that Sam Cooke song! Heard it the other night watching an HBO movie about a black DJ in the 60's & it really took me back.<BR/><BR/>The production of Gaslight that we saw was a pretty good college production -- SUU in Cedar City who are more famous for their summer Shakespeare productions.D.K.

If all it will take is the election to do away with your shingles, I sure hope Nov. 4th gets here real quick. <BR/><BR/>The YouTube by Sam Cook was a great find. I'm not familiar with the play but will look it up. It seems to me that there is a revival of 1930's and 1940's plays going on right now. Our local theatre is doing Agatha Christy this next week. <BR/><BR/>Crowds are very fickle depending on why they're gathering in the first place. If they're zealots, trouble is only a firecracker away. The Oxbow Incident is my favorite film on crowds.

When they start mindlessly chanting USA USA, in response to whatever buzzword has been flung at them, it sends a chill down my spine. even worse is when they do it in response to some protestor.D.K.

OMG, they most certain...MOST excellent post, D.K.!! OMG, they most certainly ARE gaslighting. I looked up gaslighting yesterday in light of our posting at Enigma's, and in the Wikipedia entry I believe they credit the movie, not the play with starting the term (and I love the move, btw, I'm sure the play is great).<BR/><BR/>Rove has gaslighted this country thru Big Brother Bush since 911!! And now they are turning it up to 11 on the dial with inciting lynch mobs!<BR/><BR/>I will never forgive the neocons for what they have done to this country. It's also interesting to note that I've been having many concurrent discussions about the out-and-out use of projection by the neocons these days. They always had it but it's totally out of control now. Orwell's "war is peace, ignorance is strength" totally comes to mind - they project the opposite of what they believe, what they are, what they do. They project their hates, lies, generalities on liberals and democrats, it's just bizarre but makes a lot of sense in this context.<BR/><BR/>It's a damn good thing people like us -- TRUE PATRIOTS -- are doing our job to protect the country from the growing cancer that is extreme rightwing gaslighting and uber-projection by alerting people to this type of terror.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the thought-provoking post.HelenWheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709287737262543974noreply@blogger.com
