I had a half-drunken conversation with a few close friends this weekend about the state of the Union.
We've decided we're going to hell in a handbasket, and possibly a lot sooner than we thought. Oil prices are as high as they've every been, yet so has the percentage of Americans driving V-8 powered vehicles. We spend too much. We save to little. We focus on what we have instead of what we know.
In short, we're stupid, we're shallow, and we're increasingly both individually and nationally in debt.
And all the while lots of young men, including a few that I've had the pleasure of knowing before their deployment, are dying so that we may procure even more oil to fuel our stupid, shallow, indebted populace.
America: Fuck No.
