Remember, the light at the end of the tunnel may be the event horizon at the cusp of a big black hole.

And, look at the White House, containing a grown up, broken bad, Richie Rich, who grabs nooky and everything, and who sends squadrons of Kent State-like 'soldiers' to break some heads and quell unwelcome (but justifiable) civil unrest, and who lies with every breath, and falls in love with wealth itself, and turns his back on me (and you). We're a Wall Street collapse away from total chaos in the streets, and should that scene be supplemented by the re-election of Trump, it'll be a revolution! Get off the grid while you can -- albeit that doesn't have the same cachet as "Turn on, tune in, drop out."

And if we must keep playing that goddamn military song that says cancelled culture all over it (you know the one I'm talking about), instead of "America the Beautiful," please, o please, mandate that it must be the more honest Jimi version,

Electric El Cid.
