It sounds like you approach your tasks with a philosophical
existentialist frame of mind.

Well Miriam, words can be so clumsy in expressing deep feelings.
Curious. I can see that this might convey a sense of someone sitting
in their recliner with a glass of wine and a remote, flicking through
channels of Life, nodding and smiling...and maybe drooling a bit. But
as deeply as I feel about the suffering that goes on all around me,
and some of it very close to home, I still have to maintain my own
sanity. If I become so involved in attempting to reach out to the
millions of desperate people, I'll quickly end up in my grave.
When I say I am curious, it is because I believe there is more good in
people than there is bad, and I want to hang around to see if I'm
right. I hold no illusions that my feeble efforts to change things
for the better are making much of a dent. But perhaps just a teeny
tiny bit.
After 20 years working with older blind and low vision folks, I could
throw up my hands and say, "To Hell with it! We're no further along
than when we first began." But even though that is the real fact,
quitting would gain nothing. And going out each day in a state of
depression would be counter productive. Should I knock on a door and
announce, "Sorry to be here and provide almost nothing for you because
our government has chosen to crap on its older citizens." I see a
piece of my job is to encourage people to hope, to believe that they
can have some control in their lives. And very often we leave a
client, after weeks of effort, knowing that they are no better off.
When I was younger, I really believed that I had failed these people.
I knew that if I tried just a little harder, and if I came up with
just the right words, somehow they would rise from the ashes and
become competent, happy people.
But no, SI'm not just sitting by like a removed observer. Although
there is the observer in me. But to just stand by, nodding and
smiling and watching from a distance? Do you really believe that this
is what I was saying? But I can only be so involved without being
sucked into the bottomless pit. And then what good would I be? As
much as I live in, and understand the uglieness of this world, my
inner being protects me from being consumed. I am an upbeat person.
I have as great a sense of humor as I have of grief. And I will go
out tomorrow and step into someone's life and try my level best to
bring hope along with me.

Let's set my physical complaints aside and look objectively at the world. I
do really take what is happening, very personally. Every article I read,
every book, every news item I hear, all are about real people and terrible
things are happening to them. When you say that you are curious about what
will happen next, it is as if you are talking about a film you're watching,
not real life. A headline just came into my inbox that tells me that we're
one step closer to passing the TPP. Obama and the Republicans will have
their way and real people will be hurt. Did you catch that bit in Hedgs'
article yesterday about how prison slave labor is working in the fast food
industry? Do you remember that there has been no rebuilding in Gaza and it's
been almost a year since Israel last attacked it? Is it a good thing that
most people are so busy that they don't have time to think about these
things?
And yes, New York has changed a great deal since 1973. Westbury has changed,
and not for the better. The city has changed in complex ways .

Miriam,
You've identified three very real conditions. I'd say this is where we find
the majority of our clients. Of course the third condition, our
personality, probably makes the greatest difference. Even folks we meet who
live with family, can be feeling isolated. Often they live in a spare bed
room with their own TV and a bath room just outside their door. So they are
with family, but actually alone.
In my experience, the people who seem to be the happiest are the ones who
have a network of activities and acquaintances, along with an interest in
what is going on around them. Not always world affairs, nor even local
affairs, but certainly an interest in what is going on with family and
friends.
While you are probably physically isolated more than many of us, you do have
the active interest in what is going on around you. If I had some magic
Fairy dust that would help you not to feel depressed over world affairs, I'd
send it by overnight mail. Maybe you still feel that you should be
physically involved in world affairs? Some of us never adjust to the
limitations of our bodies. I know that I sure struggle with that aspect of
aging. I was complaining to my doctor a few months back, telling him how I
haven't the strength in my lower back to allow me to do the brush clearing I
needed to do.
"Well," he said after a long pause, "You're not a young man anymore.
Have you considered slowing down and taking it easy?" But that made me
think of my great grandmother, sitting in her rocker waiting to go to be
with Jesus. She was barely 74 years old when she died.
I was more inclined to want to compare myself to the couple I knew when I
lived in Ballard, in the north end of Seattle. They had a neat, orderly
little two bedroom house just above the ship canal. She baked her own
bread, and never let me pass by without scooting out with a bag of fresh
cookies. He mowed the lawn with a hand mower and trimmed the hedges and
weeded the flower beds, on his hands and knees.
She did all the house work and kept the windows sparkling. They clambered
into their old Chevy and drove the three blocks to the big Tradewell super
market once a week, to stock up on supplies.
They were both 100 years old. They had been married 78 years when I knew
them. That was back in 1959. I married my first wife the next June, and
moved out of the area, so I do not know if they reached their goal of 80
years of marriage. Think of being born before Abe Lincoln was elected
president!. Between 1859 and 1959 the entire world had transformed. The
Industrial Revolution was barely underway.
And at 100, they looked up to see huge jet planes trundling overhead.
They had an old black and white TV that one of their three children had
given them. They had central heat and electric lights and a washer and
dryer and a telephone. They had a car instead of a team of horses. When I
would stop by and ask them if I could be of any help, the old man smiled,
scratched his thinning white head and said, "I just can't think of a thing.
We got all these modern gadgets doing most of the work." I wonder what he
would have thought of this computer...and the cell phone...or the iPhone.
And now that I think of it, what a different world today, from that moment
back in 1935, in Spokane's Sacred Heart Hospital, when I came screaming into
the world on a blustery April 13th. Do you know, back when I was a boy the
iceman still drove his old horse and wagon around the streets in Spokane.
Ah me! The changes we've seen. I'll bet even New York has undergone some
small changes in the past 70 or 80 years.
Which makes me chuckle. The last time I was in New York was in 1973.
My son learned to walk at my buddy's home out at Eaton's Neck, Long Island,
at the Coast Guard base. In fact, I still have a copy of the tapes from the
1973 NFB convention, and in the background you can actually hear the
jingling of Jamie's shoe bells.
Anyway, a couple of years ago I was talking to a friend who had just come
back from New York. I wondered out loud if it had changed much since I'd
been there. When I told my friend that I'd not been there since 1973, she
burst out in hysterical laughter. "Could you imagine coming back to Seattle
after not being here since 1973?
My mind wandered around the city and surrounding areas. Funny, how much
really had changed, even though it seemed to still be the same.
Living among change helps the feeling of sameness, but I do remember the
lady in Port Angeles, who told us that she'd been born three doors from
where she now lived, 100 years ago, and she had grown up, married, raised
three children, worked, buried her parents and later, her husband and one
son, and today, "I don't know this town, and everybody living here are
strangers."
But she was happy. We'd first met this lady when she was a mere 95, and was
trying to figure out how she could thin her carrot seeds now that she could
not see to plant them properly. We showed her that she could lay a strip of
masking tape on the table, sticky side up, sprinkle her seeds, shake off the
excess, and lay the strip down in the trench in her garden. She already had
figured out that if she put a stake at either end of the row and a string
from one to the other, she could draw a straight shallow trench and place
her tape in it.
But I am rambling again. Time to head for Sequim and do some good in the
world.
Take care and know that I'm sending some powerful cheery thoughts out your
way.

Good article, Roger. And by the way, Jill Stein declared her intent
to run for the presidency this morning on Democracy Now, with Amy
Goodman.
So let me ramble a bit on the upcoming fiasco called the
Presidential Race. In boxing we call it, "The fix is in". There is no
race.
Unless you consider Tweedle Dee Dee and Tweedle Dee Dum sitting on
the fence, a race. Clinton verses Clone does not constitute a Race.
It is the left hand shaking the right hand. But both hands belong
to the same body. Both hands are controlled by the same brain.
Both hands appear to do different things, but both hands will always
do what the brain orders them to do.
That, in my humble opinion, is the American Political Monster.
So, if I am even close to being correct, we can't make this monster
do our bidding. We are under the spell of different brains than the
two hands of the Ruling Monster.
Then why even dabble in this fiasco? Why even campaign for Jill Stein?
Would we really want to place her in the pot of boiling water called
the White House? Ideally, we would better spend our time planning
how to remove the current Monster, with nonviolent means.
Remember, I strongly maintain that violent overthrow merely sets a
nation up for another violent encounter. Usually the takeover by a
Strongman.
We might better spend our time discussing what sort of world we want
for our children/grandchildren.
But the Progressive/Radical Parties are at each others throats,
eager to show the limitations of all others, and the "Rightness" of
their own.
Sort of like the vast array of Christian Denominations.
Maybe the day will come when all these organizations can talk
together without taking everything personally, but we have been so
conditioned to behave in that manner that it is going to be a long
time in coming.
Meanwhile, I am planning to support Bernie Sanders. Why? Because
he does have a fairly broad platform and audience. He will bring up
many domestic issues that the Right Hand would rather not consider,
and the Left
Hand(Clinton) will be forced to pay lip service to. At least this
will force the Monster Brain to work overtime in devising ways to
squelch Bernie Sanders. There is some value, or perhaps simply some
fun, in helping the Monster squirm.
As long as we keep firmly in mind that no matter what happens, the
Monster Brain is going to win.
And after the Primary, I plan to turn my measly support to Jill
Stein, and the Green Party. Still remembering that even if she were
to win, she would be swallowed up by the Monster Brain.
But again, her campaign will bring out issues that would never surface.
Perhaps of all the candidates, Jill Stein would have the greatest
impact on our nightmare called, Foreign Policy. None of the Left
Hand or Right Hand candidates will touch that sacred cow. None of
them, including Bernie Sanders, will dare to take on the mighty
military, the true power center today.
The Corporate Masters are behaving like the Greedy Fools down
through history. They will grab and grab and wake up one day to
discover that the very forces they set in motion to help them
maintain power, are turning on them and taking over. The Corporate
Rulers will become the servants of the New Ruling Class. The Mighty
Military.
But I digress. Bernie Sanders, and then Jill Stein. But it will
only be an exercise to fill in my idle moments.

Bernie Sanders & oppositional criticism
Published June 21, 2015. | By Socialist Action.
July 2015 Sanders
By JOE AUCIELLO
“… the oppositional criticism is nothing more than a safety valve
for mass dissatisfaction, a condition of the stability of the
social structure.” — Leon Trotsky in his preface to “The History of
the Russian Revolution.”
In early June, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
told a conference organized by Service Employees International
Union members that she backed the $15-an-hour national minimum wage
campaign. She praised the union activists and supporters “for
marching in the streets to get a living wage” and added, “I want to
be your champion. I want to fight with you every day.”
She didn’t really mean it, of course. Within 24 hours her campaign
issued a clarification explaining that in general Clinton favors
higher wages for low-income workers, but she does not specifically
endorse the demand for a $15 hourly minimum. So, union members and
activists heard their hoped-for message; big business and
Democratic Party officials heard the more honest message.
Clinton’s cautious centrism permits her only a flirtation with
leftist causes, thereby yielding the left-of-center space to
another candidate.
Thus, the stage is set for the entrance of Vermont Senator Bernie
Sanders, whose campaign website boldly asks: “Ready to Start a
Political Revolution?”
Sanders certainly intends to become the voice of “oppositional
criticism” in the 2016 election. Thus far, the efforts of this
sometime “socialist,” the independent in the Senate who typically
votes with the Democrats, have been more successful than those of
former Democratic governors Martin O’Malley of Maryland and Lincoln
Chafee of Rhode Island.
Sanders has been drawing increasingly large crowds in the primary
states for his campaign events, and in those states his poll levels
are sharply rising. Clearly, Sanders is saying something
different—which energizes Democratic and independent voters. The
promise of radical change resonates with many whose lives have seen
little benefit during the tepid years of the Obama administration.
At this stage in the primaries, the Sanders platform gives a public
hearing to many progressive ideas. Most notably, the Sanders
campaign directs a spotlight on the obscene levels of income
inequality in America. Sanders speaks out for a national,
single-payer health care system and pledges to pursue efforts to
create sustainable energy to reduce global warming.
He would remove tuition fees from state colleges and universities.
He supports the $15 minimum wage, argues for breaking up the
mega-banks, and promotes a jobs package that would put people to
work by rebuilding the highways and bridges that are deteriorating
throughout America.
These are reforms that, if enacted, would benefit the lives of
millions.
No wonder Sanders’ poll numbers have risen dramatically.
Still, Bernie Sanders is hardly an unknown. Given his
“socialist-light”
political history and voting record, which is virtually
indistinguishable from that of a typical liberal Democrat and
includes support to funding Israel and the war in Afghanistan, it
is fair to ask:
Is Sanders really the voice of dissent? Is he really the figure who
can galvanize the poor, the working class, women, racial
minorities, and youth to lead the political fightback that is so sorely
needed?
Though audiences at rallies may be stirred by soaring speeches,
high-flown words accomplish little. What’s more, a geyser of
popular rhetoric tends to erupt every four years around election time.
A socialist writer has noted that while the Democrats proclaim
themselves “as champions of the poor, their ‘soak the rich’
rhetoric is largely a misrepresentation. They and their Republican
counterparts use such rhetoric only to appeal to voters. Both
parties, over the last decade in particular, have rushed to find
tax breaks for the rich and lower the real income of working people.
Today even two-income families are having a difficult time paying
for basic necessities.”
This observation was made 25 years ago. The article, written by
Hayden Perry, was entitled: “Congress approves new budget: Higher
taxes and fewer services,” which certainly has a present-day ring
to it. Though it was published in the November 1990 issue of
Socialist Action, it could be reprinted today with little change.
Bernie Sanders is this year’s model of the token “leftist” who will
make oppositional criticism as a safety valve for mass
dissatisfaction. His commitment to his causes appears real enough,
but it goes no further than the margins of the Democratic Party.
Those margins cannot and have never sustained a popular movement
that would give real meaning to democracy.
Some fifteen years ago, Ralph Nader launched his bid as the Green
Party candidate for the president of the United States. Although
Socialist Action gave no support to the Green Party’s electoral
campaigns, which only proposed reforms to capitalism, Nader at
least argued with a boldness and insight thoroughly lacking in
Bernie Sanders today. In his 2000 announcement speech, Nader said
that the foundation of his efforts would be “to focus on active
citizenship, to create fresh political movements that will displace
the control of the Democratic and Republican parties, two
apparently distinct political entities that feed at the same
corporate trough. They are in fact simply the two heads of one
political duopoly, the DemRep Party.”
How did Bernie Sanders, the socialist who asks if we are ready for
revolution, respond to the Nader campaign? In his political memoir,
Nader explains: “Bernie had told me that while he sympathized and
agreed with our pro-democracy agenda, he could not come out
officially for us.
The reason was that his modus vivendi with the House Democrats
would be ruptured and he would lose much of his influence,
including a possible subcommittee chair” (“Crashing the Party,” pp.
125-126).
Nader was discreet enough not to inquire about the actual results
of Sanders’
supposed influence.
Little has changed. The fix is still in. The Democratic National
Committee has essentially offered Sanders a simple deal in words
approximately like these: “We’ll let you speak out and give you a
place in the six Democratic primary debates if you affirm your
place as a Democrat. You get to say whatever you want in the state
primaries as long as you support whoever we want in the national
election.”
It is not a very good deal, but it is the only one on offer, and
though Sanders will haggle, pushing for more debates, he will
accept what he is given. It’s what Bernie does. In fact, Sanders
has built a career as the fighting socialist who takes a dive for the
Democrats.
Sanders does not lead and does not intend to. He follows. His
vision of the future is restricted to what has been made popular in
the recent past. The ideas Sanders offers, the program of his
campaign, go no further than the demands raised by the significant
social struggles of the last several years: the Occupy movement and
the environmental movement, especially.
The lesson for activists working for Sanders is quite clear: Do
better work and be more effective by building social protest
movements at the grassroots and national levels. The opportunities
are many and varied.
The Ferguson National Response Network is a good source of
information for protest actions taking place in cities all across
the United States.
The approximately 100 organizations that attended the United
National Antiwar Coalition conference would eagerly welcome new
supporters.
Whether it is 15 Now, Black Lives Matter, local campaigns against
nuclear power plants, struggles for environmental issues, women’s
rights, and more, important causes need the time, energy, and money
that is being poured into the Sanders for President Campaign.
The biggest flaw with Bernie Sanders is not his failure to condemn
capitalism as a system and call for its overturn. It may even be
asking too much to expect Sanders to fight for the structural
reform of capitalism, to demand the nationalization of basic
industries, as the British Labor Party did after World War II, in a
platform that won a national election. The Sanders team will say
the times are not right for such bold measures, that it is enough
if Bernie only wants to soften some of the system’s worst excesses.
But the time has come—in fact, the time is long overdue—to show a
new generation of activists just what the Democratic Party is and
why it is necessary to move past it. Bernie Sanders fails to take
that decisive step. His campaign by its very nature misleads
activists by asserting that the Democratic Party is a fit
instrument for the kind of social change that is needed to transform
America.
A socialist who truly merits the term “independent” once said,
“Capitalism rules and exploits the working people through its
control of the government. … And capitalism controls the government
through the medium of its class political parties. … The
unconditional break away from capitalist politics and capitalist
parties is the first act of socialist consciousness, and the first
test of socialist seriousness and sincerity” (James P. Cannon,
“Speeches for Socialism,”
pp. 339-340, emphasis added).
Sanders has been compared to a “sheep-dog” who herds people into
the Democratic Party. A better analogy might be drawn from the
world of sports. In the preparation for a championship bout, boxers
hire sparring partners to help them train and get into shape for
the real match. That opponent is there to fight but not fight too
much.
Though putting on a lively show before losing, the sparring partner
should not cause the real boxer any serious injury, much less draw
blood.
This type of dynamic is underway now in the Democratic Party
primaries.
Bernie Sanders is primarily a sparring partner for Hillary Clinton.
