Walk

"In place of these, a lean, bilious-looking fellow, with his pockets full of handbills, was haranguing vehemently about rights of citizens--elections--members of congress--liberty--Bunker’s Hill--heroes of seventy-six--and other words, which were a perfect Babylonish jargon to the bewildered Van Winkle."
Washington Irving (1783–1859)  Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Ice floes frozen since the 60's are melting and hibernating mastodons creak about the earth, rooting through piles of ancient garbage for a bite to eat. The Yale debate team of 1967 is polishing their blazer buttons and slapping Old Spice on their craggy faces. I can't imagine being asleep for 30 years and waking up in this election and being confused. Right at home is more like it. We hear more about Vietnam than our current war. 36 years ago the media was obsessed with revolting youth, and revolting youth were obsessed with the war. That is different. Being a pissed-off young person seems like a minority pursuit at the moment.
