What’s wrong with loving beautiful things like trees and trains more than ugly people who bully, jail, murder, maim, and do ugly things to other people? I’m not ashamed that I love things, public things like nice, clean, electric trains to ride on and trees in national parks.

Civilized countries use collective money to build things and structures that improve their own residents’ lives. Parks. Trains. Nuclear power plants. Healthcare systems. Universities.

The only things this nation (as a whole) can agree to pay for are things meant to hurt other people. Prisons. Bombs. Guns. Bombers. Missiles. It says a lot about this culture that people are oh so offended by a “fuck”, “shit”, or the image of a nipple (the original fountain of life) while spending half a trillion a year on institutionalized, organized violence.
