They refer to us as apathetic....the worst generation. In reality, we are disillusioned - as disillusioned as they once were, but with the ability to fight ripped from our hands.
I didn't forget, I'm not ignorant of what this all means, I'm just not happy with any of the players in the bloodsport they refer to as American Politics. What a fucking art form. The highest and most respected one in the land, certainly the best funded.
You want to send a message, create? Fine crawl through the mud, become a professional beggar for favor. Shakespeare did it. Bernini too...although he made sure to not let anyone remember his dissidence by writing anything down, lest the wrong patron be pissed off.

Someone will be along to pick up the tab, shortly.

We've lost. We've lost and worse, we aren't even sure what game we are playing.
Reverberation is nauseating.
I can't revolt.
I can't fight.
It would make me one of 'those people.'
Revolution is a precious commodity now. How much for that Che Guevara shirt, those ripped jeans?
800,000,000 easy payments of $56, 000 should do the trick. Maybe.
