Good thing all that looks good on paper to u Ross,

BUT

Try filling your tank…

& having much of anything left to fulfill your family reserves & higher education goals. 

The gas/energy prices are higher to fill (paranoid) pockets…on a swindle that has worked nicely for the few ~~ whether or not it will push towards a more meaningful use of energy worldwide is just fine for the world (wide) but this town is staggered and it’s full of people, real people w/families.  Okay, it aint a bombed-out neighborhood was once not bombed out and nearly thriving in the midst of a few dogmatic fcknuts with twisted faith in who really knows what, it’s just an American neighborhood was once…better somehow, better in a way that only one neighbor meeting the eyes of another neighbor saw there that aint there anymore ~~ replaced by something else.  Something overloaded, foreboding, & yet persistent in nature amidst the FUD so deceptively dished-out on cracked plates for sake of what kind of insane world view. 

The observation that this is somehow good appalls me. 

So FCK the paper-notions, & FCK the GREED!

& FCK whatever big worldly machinations

have…led us to being raped by our own.

It so too could have been another way.  WE could have been cannibals…who eat the assholes as they begin to show signs of a willingness to rape & pillage the very folk who make the townships worth visiting…or passing through with a wave & a smile.  The pie in the sky is far far to overburdened to EVER be sliced fair again.  But that’s jus… gooooood bidness, ah-hah….   The fit aint’ even strong enough to hit the shan…& that makes a few people (& I use the word ‘people’ loosely, begrudgingly) very VERY VERY happy.  As the rest of us dig-in and continue living our lives, making a far better living than our parents did…but sure as shit not looking like it.  So I sound bitter?

WE will persevere, and WE will still hold room in our hearts for the less fortunate, & it appears WE will continue sending our sons & daughters away to learn sorrow or die.

Have a good day (I genuinely mean that).
