Yesterday at This Modern World

Yesterday at This Modern World

by Tom Tomorrow: “This isn’t just about bringing down skyscrapers and murdering civilians and wreaking havoc and discord–it’s about setting into motion a chain of events through which we end up doing irreperable [sic] damage to ourselves, to that part of our society which can only be destroyed from within, to the very ideals which define us.”

Bingo. And if the hyperbolic “anti-drug” ads aired last night during the Superbowl (#1, #2) are any indication, the White House (at least the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy) absolutely does not get this. Or, worse still, they do get it, but don’t mind.
