Nevermore
November 3rd, 2004
we are two nations
“we are two nations America our nation has been beaten by
strangers who have bought the laws and fenced off the meadows
and cut down the woods for pulp and turned our pleasant cities into
slums and sweated the wealth out of our people and when they
want to they hire the executioner to throw the switch”
I’d forgotten how much I liked Dos Passos; a tip of the hat to the Rude Pundit. He isn’t work-safe, nor is he for the faint of heart or overly-politically-correct, but damn! when he’s good, he’s good.
