Introduced himself at the meet and greet
Beloved by life's breath
And someone named Seth
We'll all go skating when it starts to sleet.

Will citizens unite to work our freedom and radioactive wastewater into benzine toilet products for ALEC's patooties? Will we conceal our weapons in the employee bathroom, if we are allowed to have a bathroom? Will we vote to give up eating and good health and any future votes? Who will keep US secure from the Kochs and the Bushes and the Cheneys?

The Bundle of Sticks
The government no longer wants to perform its security functions. So it hired a private info-mafia firm ultimately owned by a questionable but wealthy former government employee. The private company is privy to blackmailable and politically useful information on everyone everywhere, that is, everyone everywhere. Profit is the company's motive and it directs itself - without government oversight - to that end. Unwise shortcuts and cheating and crimes are the everyday norm. The you-know-what hit the fan because an honest person and recent employee could not abide the shocking criminality, and told the truth to the world. Who will be blamed for the "disturbing implications" of the government bundled with private business in an alliance against the People?

If only the toxic super rich were more self-reliant. If only they personally built all of their own houses. If only they made their own pillows and socks. If only they made their own canapes and apertifs. If only they made their own airplanes and cars and boats. Do we have to do everything for them?

As the first white person to get a mental memo about fear and hatred being dead and stinky, John Roberts was later strongly informed that voting is as crucial to a functional democracy as clean water is to a cholera-free world.
