Dark Ages Redux:
by John Atcheson - June 18, 2012

“American Politics and the End of the Enlightenment.”
“We are witnessing an epochal shift in our socio-political world.  We are de-evolving, hurtling headlong into a past that was defined by serfs and lords; by necromancy and superstition; by policies based on fiat, not facts.”

As always with Commondreams, this article a damn good read,
and an excellent perspective of our shared Pax Americana reality.

Have you noticed how many articles I link from Commondreams?
It's because they do an excellent job of allowing truth to be authority,
rather than like FOX, where authority is manipulatively displayed as truth.

And like Alternet, et al, the "Comments" section is quite often
as enlightening as the article itself, sometimes even more so.
