"You'll be able to BUY anything," he said.

Well, considering (at least theoretically) that we have at least some control over our own destiny, then...

Maybe so but it still feels dead, poetry or not. Ya gotta right to be ANGRY, to make this America GREAT; the economy runs on noise. And go get a gun if ya feel yr freedom's at stake, because ya gotta right to shoot ... Guns Guns Guns ... It's Culture! Well at least now we know Hoffa's body is buried...

I've always wanted to see that place like most folks want to see New Orleans across the bay.
