POLITICAL GRIEF

Coming home: The American who came in from the warmth

"Why do they find so much pleasure in banishing compassion from their hearts? Why must so many people die in order for them to proclaim their right to be alive? What nightmares of a loveless life haunt their endless nights? Why do they blindly love the thing that hates them, abuses them, lies to them, and will see them in rags - their own government? How have they come to mistake the love of country for the love of a mere bureaucrat, say, a mere president? Who is driving them mad, perverting their natural love of country into a celebration of its opposite - the worship of a leader?"
