I'm not comfortable with ... an ever warming planet due to the march of Climate Change.
I'm not comfortable with ... an ever more ineffective Congress that denies the realities of Science.
I'm not comfortable with ... a Supreme Court that sees fit to pick our President, instead of actually counting our votes.
I'm not comfortable with ... a Supreme Court that sees fit to empower Corporate interests with the biggest Microphones, without so much as requiring their names.
I'm not comfortable with ... going to war with countries who did not attack us, instead of going after the criminals who did.
I'm not comfortable with ... going to war with individual targets who might attack us, and so enrage everyone who once knew them, the inevitable collateral causalities.
I'm not comfortable with ... surrendering our Constitutional principles, to the insidious pleadings of unnamed, unseen, and unchecked surveillance operations.
I'm not comfortable with ... with trading our hard won Constitutional heritage, to the false promises of quick and easy security, from the "bad guys."
I'm not comfortable with ... ever more greedy Bankers, getting away with slaps on wrists, all the while continuing to expel us from our homes.
I'm not comfortable with ... ever more greedy Corporations, getting away with paying next to no taxes and hiring too few citizens, all the while continuing to extract from the earth the last remnants of our natural heritage.

I'm just not comfortable with ... how calloused and jaded Americans have become with it all.
I'm just not comfortable with ... the way things have been going, which is far far too often, decidedly downhill. Despite all the good intentions to the contrary.
None of us should become comfortable and complacent with ... that. The fact that this fear-driven lack of progress ... has somehow become our new austerity norm.
