American elections offer no survivable climate choices to voters who have been deceived by government and corporations for decades.

What happens in a country where scientists are persecuted and citizens are repeatedly lied to and arrested for speaking truth to power?

In reality, the election sham is only one realm in which Americans have experienced a strategy of systematic obfuscation  and deception.   See, for example:

• What if Big Oil (and their Consultants) Hadn’t Deceived Us for Decades?

and

• The Untold History of The US: Bush & Obama: Age of Terror – Documentary
  [This documentary was made by Oliver Stone who was initially a freshman classmate of George W. Bush in college in the Yale Class of 1968.]

as well as:

• Splendor and Wisdom – The Reverend William Sloane Coffin, Jr. & the Yale Class of 1968

It is, perhaps, worth reflecting upon how the election of 2016 carries within itself an echo of the 50 year-old conflicts already manifest in the “Class of 1968.”  At the very least, those who are now fifty years “out” of college should have developed both the interest and the skills to “take stock of what is at stake” these days in the continuing struggle for human dignity and, perhaps, our continued survival.
