We endlessly proclaim a divine right to produce damned and wretched beings. We disavow our role in the production of said beings (even in extremis). We then endlessly lament the endless procession of such beings toward our shores as though each inch calls forth a solution. There is an economy here.

In the many stories where he goes crazy, they usually keep calling him Superman. I don’t know what 3 Doors Down was on about

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

Fascists view the total of human culture as a shell game to distract us from the truth we're tribal beasts who hunger for the mystic embrace of the motherland. That's why they lie so easily, why they hate post modern thought, why they attack education. They think everyone runs the same scam.
