Mickey Mouse America: The Death of Democracy

Mickey Mouse must die….Okay maybe that’s a bit of an extreme statement. Just bear with me….

My favorite book of John Steinbeck’s isn’t even a work of fiction. It’s pure journalism. In fact, next to Hunter S. Thompson’s 1971 journey into the dark side of the American dream, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and Jack Kerouac’s 1957 classic “On The Road”, it is some of the finest prose ever written about these United States. If you haven’t read “Travels With Charley”, you haven’t read about America.

Most people automatically assume I have a black heart and soul or that I’m dead inside and thoroughly incapable of experiencing any sort of feeling let alone unmitigated joy. Well, they’d be wrong, I feel, if you cut me I will bleed and while it’s true, I’m rarely happy, I am however able to experience the beauty of sorrow.
