The fact that life has no meaning *is* the reason to live.

I'm really getting into Kruder & Dorfmeister. I rarely find music I like with little to no words in it, which is the kind of music I need to work/read to (lyrics are usually too distracting) and can still enjoy while really listening to it.

Greed, treachery, stupidity, cupidity, posited power of lying, total contempt for any sort of human constructive political instinct... Everything that's wrong with America. Everything that this country has demonstrated as a national trait, that the world finds repugnant: the bully instinct, the power grab, the dumbness, the insensitivity... Nixon represents everything that's wrong with the country."

Why do we keep electing presidents like that?
