Fewer Wars, More Peter Sellers
I LOVE Boston. Some people I know grew up there, and had unhappy childhoods. I didn't, and both my visits were superb. And MEMORABLE. But I must add... and I feel bad about having to say it...
On the way to the library I was wondering... "Well, what new repressive measures will be implemented as a result of these deplorable acts?" Most of us are inclined to remember April 1995 and September 2001 - how could we forget? Especially the (apparently) permanent negative impact of those events. "Dude, where's my Bill of Rights?"
Let us travel no further in the wrong direction. We need more democracy, not less. Fewer wars, and more Peter Sellers movies. (I'd say "No War," but in America the very idea is preposterous). We need more Linus Paulings, Fannie Lou Hamers, Benjamin Spocks, Cindy Sheehans and Medea Benjamins. No more Lyndon Johnsons, Hillary Clintons, Richard Nixons, Ronald Reagans and Barack Obamas. Yes, I now favor impeaching the incumbent, but not for the same reasons the Right Wing Nuts do. Mr. Obama has become a fully naturalized war criminal.
I regret, but do not disown, this digression. But I am sorry anyway.
