And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.

War will end when people stop showing up for it.

Don’t just teach your children to read…

But the election of Ronald Reagan might’ve been the beginning of my giving up on my species. Because it was absurd. To this day it remains absurd.
