“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Another depressing, revolting exhibition of AGGRESSIVE VAPIDITY –– apparently the defining characteristic of the present age.
A veritable tsunami of inducements to commit suicide.
Torrents of Toxicity and Tidal Waves of Woe spelling DOOM and DOOM.
The PRODUCT of a PERVERSE POPULAR CULTURE.

You mean that just "being" in the avant-garde of culture isn't enough? ;)
Not unless you're a potted plant.
