This poignant image, taken by June Marie Sobrito says pretty much all that needed to be said about our country, in the wake of 9/11/2001.
Twenty-three years on, our great Republic is the polar opposite of the totally unified, overwhelmingly compassionate, and fiercely patriotic nation we used to be. Yesteryears' United States of America has now become today's Splintered And Disgraced States of Confusion. E Pluribus Unum has given way to "It's My Party and I'll Cry / Bitch / Moan / Throw My Own Shit At "Homophobes" and "Bigots" / Navel Gaze / and Spread Misery Far and Wide If I Fucking Well Want To!!"
A VERY sad state of affairs indeed, Boys & Girls. The rot permeating our entire nation has become so severe that I sincerely believe I won't live long enough to see proper and widespread remedial action, let alone the massive course correction our Beloved Homeland so desperately needs. I just pray to God Almighty every night that we finally bottom out well before something truly apocalyptic happens.
This is not a party-political issue, Cats & Kitties. It's as pure a universally common-sense issue as we're likely to find in this world. The sooner we all understand that fact, the sooner we can begin to treat all the ills that ail us. And perhaps, just perhaps we can also find our way back to the succor of The Twin Beacons that lead off this post.
Is hard, back-breaking, filthy, and completely remorseless work for an indefinite period ahead of us? You bet your Sweet Bippy, Friends & Neighbors {and you too, Willona}!! It's THE only option, so let's start to git' er done. The Twins will light our way home...........
