It seems that America was built on an empty belly and the fear of hunger, perhaps thats why Thanksgiving is so important. I'm just naive maybe but I thought it was built on Jefferson and others.... but really just hunger.
Whew! I thought it was just ME that saw life this way. As a product of NYC since the early 70s I have to say I agree with Mr. Miller. It gets worse all the time. In ways you never expect it to. I never imagined that Brooklyn would become a viper's nest of greedy vanity cases like Beverly Hills. I was just getting used to living in a crack infested gangland. It sucked but at least I UNDERSTOOD it all. THIS crowd is more dangerous. No crackhead ever tried to evict me.

Tropic of Cancer was one of the all time great books I have read. Thanks Mr. Henry Miller. You are under appreciated in the world of literature.

Thank you, Dino. My dear friend, for introducing me into his world, 15 years ago.

Soon it will be that same. Life only goes in cycles. You will not have anything. Very quickly soon. Well if it survives.
