I realized what I’ve been feeling lately regarding the current political situation in the country is summarized in an 80s tune:
- Show allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer.
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly, for some day sons and daughters.
Will rise up and fight where we stood still.
- Mike + The Mechanics, Silent Running
Indeed.
That song feels like a punch in the face, doesn’t it? I had forgotten about it until just now…
