This is an attempt to unmask the paucity of thought implied in political “realism” as typically portrayed on DKos and elsewhere. It concludes with a plea for “unrealism” in politics. Realism has punted in Iraq, civil rights, health insurance, and education; can we expect it to do any better with climate change?

Just thinking about the amount of change that our country needs to return to an actual Democracy is extremely taxing mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
As I have read these diaries I have almost decided to stop even bothering with politics or believing in social change. It seems that we are stuck in a society that feeds upon human blood, takes advantage of the poor, and begins war out of a desire for quick profit for the rich, while keeping it out of the eyes of a media dazed public…AND NOBODY CARES.
DailyKos must make this information from this website available to the world. Some have taken to the streets in D.C. Others make documentaries, post things on our car windows, houses and etc.
These things will attract more attention, however, we need a complete revolution of conciousness if change is to occur.
In the hope that seeds of vast change will blossom before we are screwed 30 years from now with even more war, death, poverty, overpopulation; I suggest the soothing, meditative qualities of music to bring us back to the present challenge.
So music lovers of DKOS: What songs are most enlightening to you right now as you seek change?
