But it is only natural for those forced to live in the wreckage of the storm to live our lives wet to the bone to become resentful of the dry. Because those who are dry think they are dry because of some ingrained superiority not because they just aren’t wet yet. That because they are dry is proof enough that the system is strong and superior.

That the measure of society is the health of the bottom not of the top and that it is all interconnected and indivisible.

The numbers of non Americans grow by the hour wise beyond their years of the holes and the larceny of the system. They carry with their pain the truth that it is not they who are the non Americans and soon very soon it will be a majority opinion.
