””Messy, if all those avenues of communication you mention have been shut down by the inattentive corruption of one-time well intentioned legislators, governors, mayors, etc., surely there's enough brainpower on this board to come up with a solution that will get the attention of the recalcitrant politician in some new way we've not used before.””

Heath. Having taken it to heart, sir, been thinking about what you said. Really thinking about it..for what that’s worth. Worth a headache..at least. & Short of a short film, or a barrage of form letters, or a barrage of form letters, ..followed by a group suicide, ..followed by a mutual haunting of the Senate works, bathroom stalls, stipends, & studies, followed by a plead to the almighty wonderBigdog to please, please, sick the hellhounds & bell sounds on those crusty old multi-chinned-self-aggrandizers of hierarchic shticks & stones, ..um..short of that, considering what’s already been tried from Kierkegaard to Don Juan to Dostoyevsky to Sisyphus to the old & new age Stoics in formation to Ralph Waldo Emerson to Lawrence Ferlinghetti to Elmore Leonard to David Baerwald TRIAGE ..or a series of Mick & Brad mêlées followed by an Ed jibe & a Reg op ed ex post facto, …..I can’t think of a goddamned thing. Not a single goddammnned thing.

(& I feel kinda bad about it)
