I really am long-term pissed. We worked so hard in the 60s and 70s to change society, we almost made it in the 90s and zeros, and now we're almost back to worse than we were before FDR. What happened to the Age of Aquarius? We are not forging our swords into plowshares, we are selling off the family farm and turning the plowshares into high capacity weapons distributed by the church.
