It's Not Just Old People Who've Noticed



Bruce Springsteen

.... We forget that every adult was brought up on fairy tales so it's natural
to go on and, politically for example, want to believe that your President
is a nice, honest man. The inability to turn to an adult perspective once
you get to the age where you have some political weight is a great tragedy,
and this is a period of history when it seems the most obvious type of
disguise is on display to the entire world and yet those are the people who
are still in power.
