Do you want to wait 22 more months to elect them out? Knowing most of them come from districts loaded with knucklewalkers who will never vote for a Democrat?

I’m sad a lot. Disappointed and sad. Young people make me more hopeful, though, and I live in a place that is multi-cultural and youthful and full of creative people... and crushing people’s hopes is the enemy’s plan, so I try to stay focused on the long goals.

I come from the Psychedelic Generation. We read books, learned musical instruments, had interests.

Kids nowadays smile at their phones and play tappy-tappy games.

Well, they don’t have Mad Magazine and “the usual gang of idiots” that helped us survive the time of Cold War nightmares, so I guess one has to feel sorry for ‘em in this time of betrayal and medieval witch-hunts and inquisition.

I could be more forgiving were it not for selfies.

But, yeah, every time I saw a bright flash in the distance I thought it was starting. I did Duck and Cover. I will never forget the cheerfulness of the recordings.
