It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.

In the cedar-limbs.

Outrage at their failing to cut waste and fraud in a measured and legal manner, is pointless. Clearly, that was never really their intention. Their intention is to burn it all down, to destroy what remains of democratoc, environmental and social justice safeguards against savage capitalist greed.

People have not yet begun to feel the negative impacts of what he is doing. It won't be long before increasing numbers become disenchanted.

I hope they all have the courage and the integrity to turn it down.
