26. Yes, sometimes a spade IS a bloody shovel.
The American people have been pretending to be "above it all" for far too long. Unfortunately, and in many cases unwittingly they have been behind much of the world's chaos and dispair by their willing compliance and cooperation. But now the velvet glove is being be stripped away and the ugly mechanical hand so many have served is being exposed.

Some of us always knew it would come to this and we also know that the final "disappointment" is yet to come.

I sometimes wonder if societal collapse is written into our DNA since we can never seem to think our way out of it. Other times I just call it patriarchy.

Recommended.
