Out with the Old, In with the New

Forgive the utter banality of using the old man time, new baby with a top hat iconography to end this year.  The thing is I couldn't get over how dead-on this silly, overused graphic fits the end of 2012.

This was the year we witness the old white men in power spending billions to spread lies, hate and fear for months on end to ensure that the status quo would not be threatened.  It was a catastrophic failure and proof that something new is afoot in the US of A.

These old white guys failed miserably and the staggering missteps and blunders continue. Millions of us want to see them go away, be silent, be shamed and most of all be held accountable for the misery they engender.


The promise of new ways to be within a dying empire will be the way we will be devoting ourselves when that old regime rages no more.
