[lbo-talk] Fitch memorial

[Wojtek S]

PS. Your piece reminds me, strangely, of the Lars von Trier's film
"Melancholia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melancholia_(2011_film)
that I've recently seen.  That is to say, I've seen many films
*showing* what depression does to other people, but von Trier's film
actually *makes one feel* what it does.  Something similar can be said
about your piece - it does not just tell how much the US political
system sucks - it makes one feel it when one realizes that the only
bright spots that appear on the horizon are not the lights at the end
of the tunnel but the lights of the oncoming locomotive.  Pick your
poison.  In a way, your friend Fitch reminds me of Melancholia's
protagonist Justine who having rebuffed foolish hopes of others builds
a "magic cave" out of sticks when the end approaches.
