It's called America


My friend Edmundo Morales had these very portentous remarks during the weekend Hurricane Katrina hit & this political cartoon put it perfectly (Bill Watterson started as a Cincinnati political cartoonist I believe). Milt Friggee is the cartoonist.

I had a moment of clairvoyance as I woke up in the middle of the night, hallucinating that I was perched on a college loft, and I started writing furiously:

"It's called America, look yourself in the mirror - exactly like that I had a beautiful dream, w/ exception of dudes fighting over my room, w/ Chris and wondering huh?

Had a bit of a revelation - we have solutions to these problems - recycling, conservation of energy (Dep. of Natural Resources), (worry - gobbling up natural resources Malthus - kill Malthus

But the beauty was of the college canopy - the loft I woke up in & the comfort - I saw my old friends from college and high school & even posed the question - if we ran things, with the exception of the student government, who would rule - I should tell young school students - this is as close to normalcy you'll ever get.

I am feeling as though this repressed rage is coming out very conveniently and constructively.

Why, with all the resources for a most importantly healthy amount of health, sex, and longevity for green energy and beautiful vapor trains, electric cars & this country of what used to be innovation is now the greediest, most gluttonous deluded & in a daze country on the planet - & obese, though & grant exceptions - for the weight gain of anti-depressant medication - I know it's a bit disjointed but it makes sense.

I looked at college w/ sober eyes today - what beauty and comaraderie & sex & friendship & the feeling as you woke up you were surprised & overjoyed & had feelings of puppy love in your stomach.
