"i guess you could say that i have a "Christian" mentality about the future of the United States. for I do believe that nations have souls, and that the U.S.' past sins are so great and so numerous, that the only way they can be even partially redeemed is by it's crucifixition and reconstitution in multiple forms, as was the Soviet Union"

"i've now lived long enough to have learned that almost everybody needs someone to loathe. along with other delusions, it makes people feel better about themselves, to feel superior to someone else. i developed this common malady early in life, but rather than fight it, i chose to expand it to include everybody. and thus, by loathing everyone, i loathe each individual less. of course, i make exceptions here and there, but hell, it's my delusion." shs 22oct2006

If this country were a Dog, I'd shoot it" - shs 1996
As time and tide has changed the culture of the U.S., and not much for the better, this quote must be 'updated'. As few Americans remember how their ancestors dealt with rabid dogs in the last, 'foaming at the mouth - crazed out of their mind' stage.So the update is more wordy and far less poetic, but at least it is more self-explanatory...
"If this country were a Dog, and I were a Veterinarian, I'd have to recommend that it be 'put down' "

sowing the seed
of hubris and greed
a reckoning will soon be at hand
the 'advanced' will clash
with a 'primitive' crash
for the air, the water, the land
with an increasing pace
to inadequate space
oh the things from which
we'll have to choose
a battle to the death
o'er who will have breath
and the victor will have no soul to lose

"if you truly want an atmosphere of honest and open debate, then be prepared to accept two things:
One: as a consequence, nothing will ever be completely settled,
Two: eventually you will be exposed to an argument that forces you to consider changing your well thought out mind.

REBOOT by shs 1.23.97
when the body is rebelling
and the mind cannot maintain
to discern a certain latitude
from longitude refrainseek not the familiar inner core
shut down all stimuli
give hesitating pause to life
or else prepare to die
for when the storm has lifted
and the senses re-aligned
don't rush to re-ignite the fire
gently start your mindlearn the common middleness
and from passion's ends abstain
for there's much unearthly blissfulness
between happiness and pain

About the Author
Though still a young man, the author has already incorporated into his psyche many of the failings common to men in their later years. The author's failures to exploit his talents of musical composition, fairway negotiation, and ballistics, have firmly placed him in the familiar position of having to make the best of the balance of his life aspiring to exploit the lowest, easiest rung on the ladder of accomplishment, by writing.
Thus a failure at guitar, golf, and assassination, he is left only the pen and the blank page.
The reader will do well to remember that the author regards his words as inspired by painful resignation. Seeking some modicum of harmony with his enviroment, the author dutifully summons the little energy he has left, to move his pen, to create something of value to others, in the hope that somehow he may spare those who are similarly constituted, from repeating his mistakes.
