America Is A Cabaret. Things Are Crumbling As We Are Districted. [View all]

"Cabaret" is my favorite play and movie. Just watched it again. Joel Grey is the perfect host. The more I watch this great piece of art the more I realize that it is the perfect metaphor for what is going on in the US today.

Just like Germany, we are ignoring the cause of our problem while we are in an American Cabaret. As we are distracted by all the phoniness in the media and entertainment including sports, our American experiment is dying just like Germany was dying.

And we better wake up before it is too late.
