I wonder if anyone has calculated, or begun to calculate, the economic and societal damage allegedly done by Al Quaeda versus the damage done by unscrupulous business executives. Situations, comparisons like these, make me believe that the underclass and the undermining of public education are a vast cospiracy. If people in the United States had any idea how corrupt and unstable our systems are, as reliant on beliefs and supporting a core priviliged class as much as Soviet communism, we would unravel. Ignorance, in our world, makes for blissful stability. Unless and until we have to wait in line for bread.

I dreamt last night that I was in Iowa City, and the snow was so deep we had to sit on top of the roof and paddle the car through the parking lot. Later, I climbed a rock outcropping and realized halfway down that it was beyond my climbing ability and climbed back. I could feel the stone under my fingers, earlier, the snow in my hands.
