“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

sun breaks over the eucalyptus
grove below the wet pasture,
water’s about hot,
I sit in the open window
& roll a smoke.
distant dogs bark, a pair of
cawing crows; the twang
of a pygmy nuthatch high in a pine –
from behind the cypress windrow
the mare moves up, grazing.
a soft continuous roar
comes out of the far valley
of the six-lane highway – thousands
and thousands of cars
driving men to work.

Kansas was underrated. Somehow they got lumped in with arena rock bands. But the critics’ disdain was really just an early manifestation of the coastal elites’ contempt for flyover country and anything cultural that it produced.
Sorry about that. Moved Kansas to the next post up. Didn’t want to duplicate.
The only thing you can count of from the american communists is the enormous volume of their lies.
Really, lying is the base of their entire operation, and that includes all the siblings like deceptions, double talk, misspeaks, diversions, false accusations, and all around fakeness.
They, the american communists, are a disadvantage to others so if you were the king of the world what would you do with them?
Mass murder?
Caged?
Banished to an island 5000 miles away with satellite surveillance and no supplies?
Or just cut them off from ALL gov’t services, tax them at double the normal rate, and prevent them from voting and possessing blades and firearms?
I tell young people that when they were born in America they hit the jackpot. It is up to them what they do with the winnings. President Trump keeps making that jackpot bigger.
