A quickie while we're here. . . .

The tag line was " Live the good life without the expense". It was at the end of a home furnishings store commercial on the TV tonight. How succinctly those 7 words wrap up our societies focus on growth and development as a nation.
I'd planned 2 or 3 pages on living red in a blue city, or blue city in a red state of mind, or some such. I'd written out 3 pages of notes inspired by 2 weeks or so of campaign rhetoric that has been coming through my media devices, but the notes are still in my backpack. The TV commercial however was enough to get me started.
You know what it means, so I don't have to slog through an explanation. The genie is out of the bottle. Don't bother closing the barn door either................
