Speaking from the belly of the beast. The more we spend on this shit. The more we can't spend on any other shit. Our representatives know it. Our president knows it. I doubt that the country does. When talk of tightening our belts is bandied about by those in the know, they never acknowledge this reality: we can only make bombs.

I think I need to crawl out from under the belly. It makes me wholly depressed.
