[lbo-talk] RE: how's it feel?

[Carl Remick]

[In an earlier post in this thread I tried to take the long view and  in a 
detached way say that the Bush crowd will get theirs.  But I'm too PO'd to 
get any satisfaction from letting it go at that.  So let me de-classify this 
post I sent to Doug offlist and provider fuller disclosure of my POV on the 
State of the Union:]

Actually, Doug, I am incandescent with rage.  Over a life filled with fury 
about one damned thing or another I have never been this angry.  Bush, the 
neocons, Americans in general -- I'm beyond fed up with them all.  I think 
what I said before is true (if not truistic), that action begets reaction 
and the US is riding for a fall, but that's not going to be fun either 
obviously.  On the 1984 scale I'd have to rate this period as doubleplus 
ungood.
