re: #283 HappyWarrior

Which is what my friends overseas don’t get. We talk a good game about “the children” and “the importance of education” and other such things, but when it comes time to act, it’s all bullshit and window dressing. It’s not going to get any better until we stop fighting among ourselves politically either. Politics is supposed to be the Art of the Possible, it’s not anymore. It’s become a vicious team sport. The house is burning down all around us and we’re fighting over birth control, marriage equality, and whether or not kids should get lunch at school. Or whether or not it’s really OK for citizens to carry an AK or an AR to the grocery store or out to eat. Jesus.
