Heart attack of the world - By Mark Morford
There’s heartsick, and then there’s heartsick, you know?
Which is to say: there’s that feeling you get when something goes terribly wrong, when mistakes were made and the Dark Side sometimes steals the reins and it might be a long time before thing improve, stabilize, heal – but hey, at least they will, right? Probably?
You know this flavor? Like the Bush years, like America in wartime, like the NSA, like an upsurge in girl abductions by terrorist thugs and a downspin of collective intelligence about sex, science or women’s rights, like lazy hipsters in hoodies and How I Met Your Mother and the Honda Accord. Dire and disorienting, idiotic and inexplicable – but also sort of temporary, solvable and, if we’re lucky, not as openly dreadful as we like to think.
Then there’s the other kind.
