Armies was a great read, and thanks Greg for guiding us to Miami. <br /><br />Your mention of "jeeps with machines guns pointed at us" makes me think of Ferguson, and should remind us olds that the police state is nothing new. <br /><br />The state of the one-party-with-2-names corptocracy we still live in is also revealed. This time instead of a choice between Nixon and Hump, we'll get a choice between warmonger Hillary and a pick from the nutter fringe.<br /><br />The progressives will be coaxed to back the lesser of two evils, told that lady parts make this election important, and to consider future supreme court appointments.<br /><br />But it seems to me Greg, looking at where we are with the disappointing Obama, and looking back at where we've come from, one thing is clear. If we continue to vote for the lesser of two evils we will always elect evil.

Mailer describes a 1967 march in DC, and a plan by demonstrators to encircle the Pentagon, join hands, then sing and chant until they levitated the building off the ground and turned it orange to drive out the evil spirits and end the war in Vietnam.
