Hallelujah.  At least eros, not thanatos, is back in the driver's seat 
zietgeist-wise.  Conceivably, so to speak, we're on the glide path for a 
mass restoration of inspiring slogans like "Make love, not war" and "If it 
feels good, do it."  Perhaps the day is foreseeable when Americans will 
sport little magnetic dildos on their cars.
