Good first draft. Now read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" carefully and give it another shot.

Thanks. And no thanks.

It was a first draft -- written on a flight to the Midwest.

And no, I'll not try again. Too busy earning a living. Too pessimistic to think it will matter. Too old to care much what happens, for myself. Too disgusted to care much what happens to America.

Just scratching a last message in the sand to say "I told you so."
