Just in case you thought "Hope and Change" was something new under the sun...
It's the nature of war these days: not to win, exactly, because that implies a loser and losers must be protected by statute, but to keep going until the population finally catches on to the fact that all their time and all their treasure has been squandered by people who, were they not fighting this war, would have to get real jobs instead of Changing The World.
Of course, those people Changing The World (TM) have a lot on their plate.
Part of Changing The World is mocking the efforts of those who are actually doing good while failing to follow the script.
Too much, in fact, to have something as menial as a job - you know, the type of thing that pays the bills:
Someone who wants to Change The World would have turned up her nose at such a thing because it was so, you know, totally mindless and not at all contributing to her brave new world where there are no poor people, except maybe for the guys who work for the lawn service, and at least they're making something beautiful, you know?
We can hope for a better world, but frankly, it's not very likely to change.
The stupid, like the poor, we will always have with us. And a War On Stupidity would cost every gram of wealth on the planet, and the next two besides.
Amen.
