Failure

If you haven’t read it yet, have a look at the story from this morning’s Inquirer titled Failure at Every Turn. I read it some time yesterday afternoon, but still don’t have my head wrapped around it sufficiently to make any sort of useful commentary. In less genteel times, I’d imagine we’d be seeing pitch forks and torches.
Not now, though - God forbid! In a day and age where the words “accountability” and “blame” are considered dirtier than calling your mother a pigfucker, I suppose we’ll just have to resign ourselves to quiet desperation and looking the other way. I’d like to say our society was nice while it lasted, but I think that’s probably just false sentimentality on my part.

Yep, we live in a sad society today.

Did you see that Kurt Vonnegut wrote a new memoir, called “the man without a country”? Are you still a fan of his?
