Regarding Mike Brock's Commentary "Where Philosophy Ends and Courage Begins," posted on

4/25/2025

Bravo. This is a Hallelujah piece. This is brilliant writing that should be sent around the country and beyond. This is the caviar, the nectar that I signed up for. I applaud you.

"The hardest truth to face is the one we've been pretending not to see." -Brock

"I'm here to live the answer," I say. -Brock

I too, am here to live the answer so that others will not live in oppression, ruled by a tyrant, a sick pathological malignancy who has created chaos, and DOGE (Destroy Our Great Experiment).

Mike Brock, make your commentary today into a PDF to be sent to millions across America. I would support this as a screenplay to be shown on PBS and written up in every periodical. It is of the same level as Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator. Thank you, my fellow citizen. I am proud of what you have written. This is the America where I want to live.

Wonderful, incisive, inspiring piece, Mike. Perhaps we, as both audience members and performers in the circus can hold candles for truth, love, justice, share the light in us all, not only figuratively but literally. Perhaps night time protests with candles in cities and towns around the country can spark a part of an essential resistance. “This little light of mine, I’m gonna make it shine”.

Greta Thunberg started alone and sparked a major protest wave. We can do the same.
