Thank you Jon. I felt guilty, letting anger get the better of me, then thought--what the hell. But I lose it every time I hear about an upcoming event "celebrating" 250 years.
Thanks, Mark. If nothing else, I wanted to make the point I've not seen once in mainstream media: both attacks on Iran were basically "sneak" attacks, like we suffered at Pearl Harbor, and a country attacking us in 1941 without a declaration of war, while we were negotiating in fact, was the height of infamy....but that was then....Loved your most recent post, as that passage from Melville is one of my favorites, and meant a lot to me when younger and suffering the usual carnage that comes at that age. Perfectly applicable to the current situation!
Thanks for writing this "regrets" WD, it puts into words the way I have been feeling regarding the upcoming so called 250th birthday celebration of this nation.

I might quibble with a point or two, but I hear you, Walter, and I salute you.
Rage is appropriate now, and there's not nearly enough of it.
