The world is too much with us

Man, the world is in a mess. I think it's always been in a mess but it's harder to hide from this today. Can get you down. Moreover I am reading Zinn's classic A People's History of the United States for the 3rd or 4th time and find it more depressing than on previous reads. And I'm reading about global warming and about 9/11 lung diseases -- maybe I should find some light reading ha ha. Watch some silent comedies.
