Despotism and the Tea Party

Just a quick observation. There are those — and I am not saying all or even a majority — within the Tea Party movement that like to call the initiatives of the Obama ‘socialism’ or a move towards tyranny. This sort of hyperbole is pointless. However, as I watch the Arabic world erupt with people longing to overthrow the despots who have ruled over them. (Often in very socialist-like setting) I can’t help be feel that these people who like to hurl Nazi themed insults and comparisons are acting like spoiled teenagers. They live in a system free enough for them to whine that they are not free.

Solution Found

So less than a day after diagnosing the problem with chapter 2 of Love and Loyalty (it was not character driven and did not reveal anything about the character) I have mapped out a solution to the problem. It will entail rewriting nearly all of chapter 2, but I think I was have a much stronger chapter and novel for the work.
