When Will We Learn

A detailed Summary of When Will We Learn

The gods must be crazy. Strange pollen is in the air. Like Mr. Dylan said, "The times, they are a-changin' ". What has it been, thirty years since he penned that line? What has changed? America, as a whole has wallowed in the pitfalls of it's own failures and mistakes for so long that we can't seem to break through this bad habit. Sitting here in out artificial pride and patriotism as we go out on the limb of World War Three. We tap dance on the landmines of world dominance. We are not in control anymore. And yet, we think he have this power over all. And it's this grand feeling of strength that fills our weakening hearts every time we look at that flag, that is going to spread it's poison through out us when we least expect it. "The times they are a changin' ". Or at least we thought they were. Or have we just spent our lives covering up every threat, masking every failure, and then proceed with advances with hopes that they will overshadow that horrible truth? The fact of the matter is, we have grown too comfortable. Spontaneity is dead and gone.

Yet I am not surprised by his narcissistic self-centeredness. After all, he is a Republican. But you know what? Now, we have to deal with it all over again, only this time, we have to contend with this Goddamn situation in Kosovo too. Hussein sees his chance, his blessed opportunity to inflict whatever the fuck anthrax shit he's got onto everyone. The time is so perfect. Like it was written in the stars, our painful fate is unraveling. No. Not written in the stars, but in Revelation. Not that I proclaim to be anything religious, but bot that I think about it, I believe that if there is a god, he is reigning in his own little heaven watching his people fuck up and destroy themselves.

ave lost that motivation, that inner drive, that heart and soul of what made this blistered nation appear to be great. We've degenerated so far that now the warts are beginning to emerge from underneath the surface. Underneath where the truth lies. And the truth lied underneath because no one ever learns from th
