I’ve been thinking a lot about the song “Live and Let Die” lately.  Until just recently, I’m not sure I really understood it.  Sure, on an abstract level it made sense, but now, I get it.  This is the point I’ve reached in my life:

“When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say
Live and let live.

You know you did
You know you did
You know you did

But if this ever changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

What does it matter to ya
When you’ve gotta job to do
You’ve got to do it well
You gotta give the other fella hell

You used to say
Live and let live

You know you did
You know you did
You know you did

But if this ever changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die”

That’s how I feel about our country and this insane, Bizarro World direction we’re heading.  I really can’t say it much better than that.
