I just want to know--when has it not been hard times on this old planet? It's never! Everybody's always dying in incredible numbers for obscure philosophical and theological reasons, from savage politics and needless wars, and the very earth's wanton and incomparable destructive power. It's normal, and it always costs a lot of fucking money.

Oh! Everybody saying it's worse now than ever is also something that has been said the entire time. Better now than ever, too.

I saw the news a little on TV this week. I haven't had a TV in a very long time, and it was a very, very strange reacclimatization. It was hard, but in just a few short sessions, I didn't know what the fuck was going on, or what the fuck I was talking about--but I knew that what I knew was of incredible national importance.
