Americans seem a tad unhappy with the club of corrupt kleptocrats running their government these days; seems about as good a time as any for Congress to give the go ahead to the military and private corporations to fill our skies with stealth spy-death machines to help keep an eye onprotesterstraffic conditions, maybe?
Maybe I'm feeling negative because my current job is winding down (I march in March) and I've got fuck all to do and I'd rather be home packing cuz basically all I do all day is do a bit of work - surf a lot - do a little work - surf a lot, etc.
Anyway, yeah - negative.
I used to teach history and I still enjoy reading it. In my quieter moments, after reading about someone alive in the 1930s, I think...I wonder at what point that person recognized that it was all going to shit. Now I realize that, while I will never be in a history book, I am just like that person. The loss of civil liberties...spying on American citizens...denying food to American citizens. I'm probably later than most folks when it comes to figuring this stuff out, but yeah...this is what an end to an era looks like...and it's happening in my lifetime.
I'm trying hard to not give a fuck now...I don't think I have enough booze though.
I have put that on my wishlist.
I think that's the point.
You watch - the first time one brings a privately owned Cessna, that will be the end of it. Civilian aviation, that is.
