From oil fields to poppy fields to killing fields, the United States lays claim upon the world. Overwhelming force in service of the export of capital requires constant presence and insistent justification.

There is no excuse too craven nor apologia too callow for the media that abets these crimes. No matter how you costume it, the violence is beyond vindication and even beyond satire.

Our heroes can do better. We can do better. We will.

(This season owes love and gratitude to Lawrence Ferlinghetti, without whom poetry would be incomplete.)
