The Gap
You regular visitors to the blog may remember my mentioning concerns about the polarization of the US, politically, socially, and economically. We have a vanishing middle class being crushed by a recession that won't stop, the recognition by the powerful that the weak cannot stand against their use (or abuse) of that power, a leader who, judging sheerly by number of people protesting, is the single most hated man in history, racial tensions on the rise, the collusion of religion and politics at nearly all levels, blah blah blah. It worries me a lot, and makes me think we are living in 1967 - teetering on the edge of a profound social upheaval against a status quo that has declared if you are not with them, you are against them.
This article embodies all of that in one very effective statement (kudos to IllusionaryLunch for the link).
All we need is a draft, and we'll be set for total anarchy.
