Sure, still hopeful, (see previous post), it's a firmly contrarian stance, one that is unaccountably hard to shake, but one can't help but notice the grand, fucked-up trajectory of this fabled land. It is tending to a state of grandly, proudly, staunchly FREAKISH. Seems everyone on the sidelines is calling out to you, "Come on in, the water is warm." They promise that you too can be a hyped-up, brain-dead, FREAK. Not the good kind. I say, nope, fuck that... YIKES!
