it's a lot of pictures i know but it's just catching up with yesterday—and i only have two walks! the u.s. has been the unaccountable bully of the planet for centuries, and still maintains it's a democracy. the demonic culture of this country has been acknowledged for centuries by other countries (and the downtrodden and abused in this one). now it's plain to all, this is a morally bankrupt failing empire, not a democracy. but wait, maybe the final trump will be the end of the history of hypocrisy and the nascent beginning of democracy. but not so fast! breathe! breathe!—don't hold your breath!
