I am an American Astronomer and work in the LA area; that is, I actually must go pretty far out of LA to do any real work. There are no stars here anymore. I am Not making these up: 1. Go into the middle of nowhere where it is so dark you cannot see your hand in front of your face. You will see your shadow cast by the light of the Milky Way. You need to do this in midsummer. 2. Also in the middle of nowhere, tune your car radio to the static between stations -- the 'hiss' you hear is Jupite

I am an American. My government is the United States, which no longer has a soul. It openly represents only the greedy and powerful; it does not represent 98% of Americans.
I live among Americans; almost all of us are kind and generous people who are horrified at the arrogance of our government towards other countries.
But we are easily duped. Too trusting. And so it has come to pass that almost everything we can remember that was once good is getting bad - and so quickly we can't keep track of what the government is doing anymore. We fear for our futures, and it is making us isolated from one another.
We Americans need to get out of the voting booths and into the streets.
