really started to go to hell when Reagan was elected. We are now seeing the horrendous harvest of what was sown in the early 1980's. We fucked up. Jesse Jackson was the only candidate that made sense. Do you think you were wasting your vote? Hilariously naive? I guess I am not seeing the humor. All I can see is the tragedy, actually. Maybe I need some more sleep.
