3. I still believe in,...but, don't pretend that it exists. |

I watch a lot of people believing that, their struggle to JUST GET BY, is tied into "freedom" and "democracy" because,...the teevee or a preacher says so.

2. I like to think back to the '40s. Even play the big band music..etc. |

Believe it or not, the war was over, everyone was in a good mood, economy was improving and no more rations. People respected each other, manners were the norm. I wouldn't mind those days back. Bring back FDR!!....lol.

At least in this life, so basically our democracy has always been pretty fucked up for me. Couple years in the 90's it wasn't so bad.
