Boring AF. But I’m reading it for work.

“When you have lived your whole life within the greatest empire of your time, it is hard to believe it will end.”

Part IV: Chapter 59

“Everyone in America seemed to be afraid and hurting and angry. Starving for a fight they could win. And more than that even, they seemed certain their natural state was to be happy, contented and rich.”

One of the most damaging, longest lasting, consequences of the “war on terror” years is an utter obliteration of the obvious moral case for non-violence.

…every ideal turns vaporous the moment it threatens to move beyond the confines of the speeches…

“In times like these, one remarkable difference between the modern Western conservative and their liberal counterpart is that the former will gleefully sign their name on the side of the bomb while the latter will just sheepishly initial it.”

“…here then, is an account of an ending.”

So heartbreakingly honest and true, I don’t want to continue reading.

Four thousand hungry children
Leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs
Creating death showers

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert
Blowin' up the sunshine
