    Default I Wish we Could...

    ...But we won't. Unite, that is. I think I'll make this the alarm on my phone that I'll wake to each morning. Maybe that will help...

    Yes. I've seen this one before. It is very inspirational.
    Sadly, the people who are calling the shots are doing what the mob wants, and what the mob want is usually a good lynching and a hotdog, and then forget anything happened and avoid introspection.

    Yeah, Yeah, OK, and I though I was pessimistic! Anyhoo, I'm playing it over and over, at 11:30 of Friday night, as I drink way too many home brews brewed in swing-top Grolsch bottles and have a little bit of a cry, just like when I saw that opening bit of that movie Soylent Green...
