The Cold War isn't thawing it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping it is as always plotting scheming working fighting.
I'm no romantic surfing California boy. I like reading writing philosophizing. Scheming. I've been doing some exploration of the inner space.
I'm not overly alarmist about it but I do think there are some worrying signs like the growing accumulation of wealth by a very small proportion of the population plus elections in the US are much more dominated by money than anywhere else calling itself a democracy.
