"~\V/~"






"The urge to save humanity is always a false face 
for the desire to rule it."
*
H.L. Mencken

Violent revolutions sound like swell ideas.
If you're 18 or 20 pissed horny angry, and have never seen mass death.

They're heroic sexy, and fun till they happen.
Happen, and make things insanely worse than they were.
One wades through an ocean of blood.
At least that's what the entire 20th century taught us.

Change will happen.
However with as little carnage as possible.
The Civil Rights Act took a  century of slow passage, and cost lives.
Perhaps a Thousand over that century.

Freedom has a price.

So does Chaos.

(...nice jacket though.)
