I wonder if the U.S. gets involved in a war with Iran whether the volunteer recruitment model will be sustainable.

Indeed... yet the Detroit River is really real, I swear. So are the St. Claire and St. Mary's rivers and the lakes they drain into and out of, and Canada is a very nice country on the other side of them and I think Canadians like it that way and so should we.

I'm interested in how that crisis facilitated the decline in the West and how the economy shifted from a more national to a local scale, collapse of rule of law and decline of urbanization. Seems like there are lots of lessons to draw from all that.

Uncle pictured learned how to fly a B-17. He went up once over Nazi Germany and never came back, lost somewhere at the bottom of the North Sea. All my life I thought we should bring him home and put him in the grave between his parents in Ohio, but now I'm afraid that would dishonor his sacrifice.

It looks like a notion of masculinity that never had to contend with consequences of being an adult, like hothouse flowers. When they encounter an actual adult trying to be responsible they freak out. We're so fucked

'We' had to fight a whole goddamn war about it, the most costly one in all American history. I hope that it doesn't have to come to that again, but people are so fucking stupid. This guy's bones are rattling in his grave.

I was always told he was lucky, and he really was because we all know where that went and how it ended. But I make the point because people have known all along that there was rot, sin, at the heart of it. We should all come to terms with it.

My nine times great grandfather, Christian and his brother John were arrested, put in chains and shipped on a barge down the Rhein. They were separated in Holland, both arrived in Philadelphia two months apart. Christian did seven years of indentured servitude in Virginia and then set free.

I keep looking for a silver lining. Maybe if 'the stupid' is so over the top it'll light a fire under people. Hopefully not literally, I guess.

Did anyone believe that it would get this stupid this fast? And can it get even stupider yet? Lord help us, probably yes.

That tension between the truth and all the lies about that "innocence" has been there since the get go. The element that rejects exceptionalism isn't going away. Only hope is that it gets stronger. Otherwise we all burn
