Ross. This is not a personal attack, man. Really. I believe you feel the sting of this catastrophe just as much as us leftwitch lunatics do, but it’s no doubt you have to put it in pragmatic dollars and cents perspective and keep the frequent flyer mileage current. Sorry about the scuba thing and the nose up as[s]pirations thing. It’s been some pair of years here, yo, and everyone I know is feeling the sting o this epoch horror of unreality becoming reality, from the East to the West in the company of cold-hearted bastids with stirring sticks, and most of us really, really, care about the basic elemental liberty of working & walking & talking & chalking another one up for the meaningful times here on a splendid terra firma un-spewed upon with impunity by tyrants with God as they scapegoat and death before they wealth runs short of the 300 dollar a plate luncheon set. & it’s been goin' down ever since Christy Columbus arrived and staked his first claim wit words to the likes of: “Hey look at these fascinating bipeds bearing gifts. They will make excellent colorful servants to my basic needs as a gentleman. Smile everyone, and give them gifts of poison and chains.”

&, sir, anybody who has ever stood around a good fire, on a good piece of land being gradually paid off via the morbidly iniquitous mortgage, looking out over the creek or up into the wind in the trees, arm in arm, song in song, a bit of a buzz goin' down, and smiled and just knew that life here on Earth is good and worthy of respect and heart, knows down to the core depth of their being that there is a major fuckstick that is tearing this beauty down.

& it is wrong to enable it with good excuses and talking point trigger.
