"There must be a better way." There is, but it starts with Palestinians finally ending their decades-long, openly stated goal of purging all Jewishness from the land. Meanwhile, Israel's virulently pro-settlement right-wing must recognize that Arab residents are there, and deserve dignity.

I've taken an absolutely blissful indica capsule, and it dawned on me that, as kids in the late-80s and early 90s, we consumed an astounding amount of Kool-Aid. And I don't mean metaphorically (as in cult propaganda). No, it was literally gallons of actual Kool-Aid.

The greatest tragedy of the human condition is that we're rational enough to know how to fix our greatest societal problems, but too irrational to actually implement those fixes on a truly meaningful level.
