>>4040265I am #blessed to live in Sodom, smack in the belly of the beast, and to be surrounded by Every Bad Thing happening simultaneously, 24/7. I've worked in the homeless shelters here in Vegas, so I am fully aware of just how vile this city can be. (... having had people I consider friends being set on fire while they sleep in a drainage ditch, for example.) And I am also fully aware that this insane slaughterhouse, and the system that has given rise to this insane slaughterhouse, is NOT the normal state of things. The normal state of things is one of overwhelming abundance and beauty, and it is only the sick hallucinations of a sick planet filled with sick people that give rise to the abominations ITT and beyond. There is nothing easier, nothing more cowardly, than to wallow in the trash that has been served up to us all our civilizational plate. I reject it totally.
