I don't post many OP's here for that very reason. At least you got the thrust. Apparently few did.

That makes me sad. People here are more worried about stuff, which if they don't vote for Obama in November, won't make a fucking difference. If the Republicans get back in power, drones and police actions against demonstrations will be the least of our problems, to say nothing about nuclear power issues.

The big picture was what I was attempting to paint. Maybe I should have posted a thread about a dead, washed-up disco star instead, or maybe about who's winning American Idol this week.

It's sad, really sad.
