it's sad weather, but the weather changes, but it's chicago so it's mostly sad, they say it's not the weather but me that's sad. but who is they. are they liars? anyway what they say is hard to suss out. one day they say american hegemony is on the wane and the next they say the american military is in virtually every country on the planet holding it in thrall with a death-like grip. maybe it's both. maybe things do in fact have to ripen in iniquity in order for the refining fire to then come and cleanse the world of sin ha but is that capitalism? if they act as if freedom is war then it will be.
