And yet the seismographs of public opinion show barely the faintest signs that Americans are preparing to redress what’s been done to them.

We’re rising as one, a song on our lips, to strengthen the hands of those who smite us; we’re up on the rooftops of our flooded homes praying fervently for rain; we’re offering smiling shoeshines to the people who have come to take possession of our foreclosed farm.
