Only it's not 'towers' collapsing - it's the last vestiges of a 'Republic' with an at least putative Constitution.. once populated by (voting) citizens and now, by Corp advertertainment led mall-addicted junkies. We ARE The Eloi now.
It's still a crap shoot I suppose, but even if W manages a final fatal-footshot before 11/2: the mere fact that this shall be Close, says too much about what the US has become. So quickly. EZ Come EZ Go? izzat it? Brought up with a Walkman in ear during civics class, say.. 'homework' on the Nintendo. Innumerate all.
Appalling is too effete a word. (And the utter humourlessness! of the dreary Nintendo Neoconmen just rubs salt into the psychic wound of such a shameless denouement.)
