same day.Yet the Mexico killings are not very

I’m not holding my breath regarding the “good people of this country.” In my experience, the “good” people like to do things like attend anti-racism rallies then follow up with voting for politicians who pursue racist policies. Maybe because I live in Maine, which was just bought by the Heritage Foundation for a few bucks, I am extra-cynical but I don’t think so.

The West is broken. A broken system produces broken people. And in the breaking their disease spreads to others.
There are many millions of people hanging by a thread. But even then, they somehow get through the day, and manage to continue to put the best foot foward..
Don’t sell this country short, even if our leadership, is selling us out daily, the good people of this country, whose hope put them there, will see it through.

She was born on September 11, 2001
on the eve of sociopathic revenge
exacting sociopathic revenge
and thereby inciting sociopathic revenge
as two rich boys
on other sides of the globe
compared the size of their rages
and demonstrated just how far they could spit
to impress their daddies
whom they both hated respectively
but also loved in the way that only sons
who want to kill their fathers
can love their fathers.
She was shot to death January 8, 2011.
The rich boys have retired.
The wars have not
stopped.

@ skulz
That young men and women in the US aren’t in the streets at this point is symptomatic of the utter dispair rampant there. People know the economy isn’t coming back this time, for them anyway, that the class war is almost over, and Big Brother won. It will take a period of grief before the anger sets in.
