I had this song in mind when I wrote the last post. Turns out, somebody with more time on their hands than me right now set it to image.

Honestly, I don’t see a resolution of the current mess without some level of violence. I’m not just referring to the rigged election, either. That’s just one (very serious) symptom. I mean the source of our national illness and all the other symptoms. The scale of violence could very well depend on our decisiveness, and willingness to do what needs to be done. Are we gonna try to appease, and do just enough to prolong the suffering, as in Vietnam? Or are we willing to be as remorseless (or more so) as the enemy, like in the South Pacific?
