The contemporary sludge of choice is politics. Even the candidates are "sludge-like". They have no grace. They have no brilliance. They have no radiant morality. They're just cartoon politicians. We've seen thousands of them before and they talk their cardboard talk and walk their cardboard walk and live in that l% of unreality that we should NOT be thinking about and having life and death discourse about. It's the Tower of Babble. It's always been the Tower of Babble. It always will be the Tower of Babble.
But, hell, it's a way to kill an evening . . . and planet.
Looked at one way, we don't deserve the "Mothering" and clouds of glory of the Earth. And you know what? We're almost certainly not going to keep them.
Sad, sad, infinitely sad.
