as you typed that I was typing out the lyrics to Neil Young's Ohio. Spooky.

Nothing to rally behind, no one to aim us in a positive direction. I wonder if it is even possible in this nation now :(

Way to make my mood WORSE bro. :P (as if)

I believe it is a very uncivil war, and that it is global, and that we've been it for a very long time - ever since Bush v.1

If we were at the card table, I'd up your bet. I live in Arizona FFS. We didn't even recognize MLK until the end of the 00s.

Oh, I would classify that under the "we think we're civil libertarians because we stand for guns and freedom" clause. FUCKED UP.

I could still up-bet you, but it's all just so despicable why bother. I truly am so sorry, my friend. THIS IS NOT MY AMERICAN DREAM

Miss him. Miss Bill Hicks big-time. They'd have some voices of wit and wisdom now. Hicks wouldn't still be sober, I know that much.

I was just talking about Frank Zappa and Timothy Leary in relation to #DRM and mourning their loss. It applies to this too.

Which goes to the heart of the issue - who, or what, can we follow in terms of a greater ideal that is capable of + change?
