It was almost more saddened by the few people who commented on my bow tie today, who, when I told them I was wearing it in honor of Paul Simon, encouraged me with their shock and dismay, only to dismay me when I realized that they weren't quite on the same bus, Gus, if you know what I mean. 1:26:29 AM

I was listening yesterday to remeberances of Paul Simon, many of whom talked about how it was rare to have a politician with his integrity, which is what everyone always says about every politician, individually, even some of the ones we've sent to prison for their misdeeds. But the system is fundamentally broken, which is a lot harder for people to get their brains around. I've been thinking more and more lately about the idea of cabalists, and how it may not be so crazy afterall to think that there are small pockets of sustained resistance to fundamental democracy, and that those folks are bit by bit eroding democratic freedoms to return us to a more feudalistic society - which might, of course, include God's kingdom. 1:18:56 AM
