We've lost.
Why does this always happen? Why do we always lose?
Lose lose lose.
I wish time/human events/history didn't stop (like it always does) just long enough for everyone to see we've LOST AGAIN! Wouldn't it be nice if politics and history and time could be viewed as non-linear, or at least ever flowing? Then the concept of LOSING would appear quite silly.
There would be setbacks and surges, but things would keep going. Maybe there could even be progress and setback at the same time in different areas, so that no one would ever need to feel like they LOST.
It would be as if, as if, as if.....
As if human events were somehow like nature, or at least, like a babbling brook: wild, zig zagging from left to right on an uneven course, but somehow carving out a course, getting somewhere, sometimes moving past obstacles in different channels, but always in the long run somehow together...Oh, if only....
Alas....
Well, back to reality. History is over (again) because Obama, or etc. did it wrong or didn't do it right and we LOST AGAIN.
It's all over.
