Joseph Campbell might deduce that GW Bush is a false and selfish king who came to power in his father's shadow and does not truly love his people. Blindly brave for personal political glory and power but as a result unworthy to lead Camelot back to its glory. GW's "hero's odyssey" has been fraught with cheats and disappointments. Favors to the richest special interests backing him. He has not told his people the truth and has squandered our riches, while using the Christian cross as a moral shield he is not worthy of being protected by. Bushies like to think in black and white. Good vs. evil. Us versus the. Bush=America. He's the righteous King Aruthur and anyone who opposes him are the evil ones. Period. This can work when the man on the throne merits such adulation, and the eney is clear, but Bush is no King Arthur and the only tgrue enemy we have is a gang of shadow figures with no nation. Politics is indeed partly creation of modern myth. Creation of heros and villains. And the destruction of them. Clinton was brought down by a poisonous personal Shakespearian conspiracy, tragedy and scandal which made all his triumphs seem unworthy. One personal flaw and nothing else was allowed to matter. In the moral confusion, GW Bush stole the throne from a less ruthless Gore who underestimated the personal power it would take to withstand the right-wing coup attempt. GW Bush now has his media machine touting him as the great Christian hero leader but where has he led us? Into the wilderness I'm afraid. Briars, and brambles, mud, sink-holes, fog and gloom. What we need now is a brave embattled vateran knight in armor to come riding in to the rescue with the fugitive rebel force behind him. The keepers of the flame, of democracy, of the peoples' government and army. Then the sun wil, shine again. I believe John Kerry is such a man, but even now you see the forces of Bush concocting false tales and scurrilous rumors to try and taint our good man John. Still, I think Kerry will persevere and lead us back out of the wilderness. But it is a fight he cannot win alone. We all have to join in behind him. It will take an army of the people vs. the citadel of special interests and disinformation.
