Reminds me of the Bart and Homer Simpson meme. "The most sickening aspect you've seen
so far." Is that worse than tens of thousands of Americans left to be beaten and killed in Afghanistan? And by killed I mean tortured, disfigured, and dismembered before being drug through the streets and hung up from something on public display to rot. If this continues at home and abroad, it may wind up making the toll in blood and treasure from the Civil War look like a gentlemen's disagreement by the end of four years.

Man, what will Americans NOT put up with so long as Facebook can be scrolled and Pornhub streamed? I only wonder if Diogenes and Socrates would have faired better in these times. Diogenes was, after all, rebuked for masturbating in the public market. "If only my hunger could be satisfied by rubbing my belly." Maybe I should wear a headlamp around town during the day and repeat his lantern escapades? I think I still have the one I used in Afghanistan (Petzl makes good stuff).
