A Prophecy Realized
A reading from the Prophet Bowden:
We have made our entire nation into a reservation with a population unemployed or underemployed, and our merchants eager to supply us with alot to drink or snort or dose ourselves with. We display a frisky penchant for violence, enjoy an abandonment of everyone by everyone, stare at a future as blank as the president’s ass and a past increasingly lost in the fogs that flood our brains.
Charles Bowden, Blood Orchid: An Unnatural History of America. Random House, 1995
