[Trombone-l] This won't ever happen again

[Daniel Pliskin]

I've always felt that when things get really bad, I'll move to another 
country.  But I got through the Viet Nam war and I guess that wasn’t really 
“that bad”.  And things haven’t been “that bad” since, or maybe I’m just 
more firmly planted than ever.

And then, there are those European countries, where the government actually 
does seem to care about its people, except that it costs money to actually 
take care of the people, so workin’ fools have almost nothing to show for 
it, after taxes.

And so I count my blessings that I at least live in a blue state, and prey 
that the oceans don’t rise and flood my basement, etc.  Come to think of it, 
the way we do levees, around here, this country could become a series of 
islands, the Appalachians (etc), the Rockies, the Sierras, Hawaii, and Mt 
McKinley.  Perhaps this is yet another reason why I’m looking forward to 
dying young.

Is my 50 minutes up, already?
