Gaming Our Own Asses (Kunstler)

[CanonRay]

A wicked vibe rattles the mental furniture in men's minds these days. Against the dreadful normality of American life - the morning traffic on I-495, the mayhem awaiting in some school cafeteria or motor vehicle office, the household awakenings to a new dawn of foreclosure here, there, and everywhere - all this ceremony of the familiar is like a stage backdrop that conceals the awful crush of history. Things are swaying and crashing outside the magic theater of the normal, where we act out our tragicomedy of "Waiting for Recovery."

3. A World Made By Hand. Not as bad as it sounds. Although my

family is still laughing about my great grandson bicycling 3 hours to play his game for 1 hour. He is not going to be happy. But he might just find out there is something outside the electronic games and the computer. Yeah maybe we will have to learn that to.
