Pity The Nation...

[Skull Pilot]

Good post, describes the radical right wing plague eroding the nation perfectly.

As well as the progressive liberal quest for control of the people's every breath and action

Um. I hate to break it to you, but Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a liberal activist. So Black Label got the intention of the poem right.

Um the interpretation of the poem is more important than the intent.

And you and i obviously have different definitions of the term liberal.

Pity a race of supposedly intelligent beings that continuously wanders from one conflictual situation to another and never learns that the problem is dividing the universe into ego-centered value points.
