In my evening stumbles through the web, I found the opening line to Howl by Ginsberg,
“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”
I wondered to myself, how many of our great statesmen are turning away in disgust at the antics of the whores and greedheads who run things these days? How many of our best and brightest have been tossed on the embers of a 3,000 year war in the middle east, just as it roars to life? How many Mozarts, Teslas, and Edgar Allen Poes are being medicated through high school to a B average and a nice stable desk job?
It made me think that I need to be a little tiny bit more extreme and proactive with things … to keep in mind that we are … you and I … the best minds of our generation.
We should act like it.
