Re: Is Civil War coming to America?

Unread post

Finished "Strangers in their own land," by Arlie Hochschild. She makes a try at reaching across the empathy divide, as she puts it, to try to understand Tea Party Republicans in Bobby Jindal's Louisiana, so afraid for jobs that they don't want anyone telling the truth about the way petrochemical companies are destroying their homes and drowning them in toxic effluent.

It's a fearful thing to be on the bottom of the totem pole (or think you are). It does not make for political health.
