A not very clever play on the term innocent bystander. None of us can claim innocence, anymore, of the things done in our name. I freely confess my ignorance, and I've been a bystander for far too long.
As I sit festering on all the pent-up anger, frustration, and shame at the actions of my government, I also sit in bewilderment. What am I to do as an individual citizen of a supposedly democratic nation, when those we elect to represent us, including in some cases those I voted for, do nothing? What do we do when it is our government that fails us? Now where are we going and what's with the handbasket?
