Sunday...

So immediately after posting this carefree, not much of dimensional statement for Saturday, I go to NYtimes.com, and see that Congress has given Bush enormous power to stop "enemies". My god, how can we live with this? Then I read about Bloomberg's persecution of the vendors around Red Hook park. Rage, a sense of not being able to stop either thing from happening---also, how cut off it is from all the rest of life---one could easily pretend that Iraq or the problems in the city, simply arn't there. One can just immerse oneself in theater, sports, the city, even with all its changes. How to reconcile the two, is it possible? Is everything really "all right"? Why can't I discuss these issues with people I know? Contradictions, contradictions, all right, that is as far as we can go now..we will leave you with this.
