The Gods must have an infinite sense of irony to have inspired the naming of this modern behemoth.
Is this not the latest, perfect symbol of ten-thousand déjà vus since the days of Cain?
Is this what we champion with our capital addictions?
Isn’t this the inevitable legacy of Randians [and Trumpites]?
Isn’t there a better option? like maybe a third way? not right or left, but UP?3
Just asking.
