Re: Illegal Drugs
They gave us endless

as an illegal drug, so yeah,
about time someone asked

Re: I Think We're All Pretty Good People
Yes, it's tragic. No words can adequately express my revulsion to that whole situation and its long, long ugly history. As for my comment, I meant would-be combatants. I remember one time, Dad said something like "What if they tried to start a war and nobody showed up?" It's almost a ridiculous noti...

Re: I Think We're All Pretty Good People
I hear you, Doreen. We're swamped with religious and "cultural" dick-waving. We have open talk by "leaders" of nuclear warfare.

Re: I'm sure his grave is restless
The worst part is, we're doing it to ourselves.
We are buying the snake oil con.
Talk about an own goal in our elimination match in the Big Soccer Tournament of the Coming Apocalypse.
I keep wanting to tell myself it won't be, or couldn't be, as bad as I imagine it will get.

Re: bring on the spectacle
"Outrage porn."
Pretty much describes it. Well done.
Everything is porn. I knew it would come to this. We have everything and nothing (very Zen) in the explosion of tech and everything and nothing and I suspected it would come to this sooner or later or maybe later or sooner.

Re: Snow Moon Rising
Not sure why.

newer, bigger and ten times as good
parked in front of my door.
