We come from people who brought us up to believe that life is a struggle, and if you should feel really happy, be patient: this will pass.

Stage. Lights. Curtain up. We have been fooled, there’s no prairie here, only some worn out musicians. Lies! Deception! Oh, my lord, Christ is pure and we have deceived by the fuckin’ democrats. But wait, what is going on? It’s the prairie all right, it’s the goddamn wilderness, cowboys and lasses, Christians and nothing else, whites and no more. Oh, yea, cowboy, this is the prairie, and these rugged musicians are your guides. It’s all on the radio, no TV can transmit these pictures, for that you need a stretch out that antenna, move it a bit to get it clear, and here the prairie invading your life. Some miracles just keep on running day by day, despite TV, despite Podcasts, despite Soulseek, there were some good things, and for some reason CNN and WB forgot to wipe them out or buy them in.

She shot that bastard in the heart, And ruined his nice suit!
