Yes ... power to the people. The power to be sent to war against themselves. To get lost in shiny things. Things ... always things, more THINGS!... The curse of progress. The curse of "we're ... almost ... there ... " (if we could only get a little more ...) More more MORE ! ...

Oops, another rant. Sorry. Yes, where is the newborn?

She muses that the hippies are dealing with “society’s atomization,” for which their parents are responsible. “At some point between 1945 and 1967 we had somehow neglected to tell these children the rules of the game we happened to be playing,” she writes.

Neglected to tell them the rules? or ... those rules were rejected ... (For awhile at least.)

August 9th

I feel good
as if a great weight has been lifted off of me
I am going to quit my kvetching about war


I am over it
I am cured
War is good
War is love
War is jobs
War bless us

Amazing Grace, I have seen the light
Everything is on time on schedule
Walking the streets of Nagasaki with Ferlinghetti in 1945
I see the error of my ways
War is beautiful

Seriously
I am going to support our troops
War bless them

Our War which art on earth
forgive me my faithlessness
Bring us more death
The world is a beautiful place
And war is the crown of creation

War leadeth me into still waters

And when my task on earth is done,
When by War's grace the victory’s won:
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since war through Jordan leadeth me

with apologies to Stephen Foster
She is twice the man I am.
