“♥ – ♥ = Tompkins County” Bumper sticker
They’re cunning as weasels
And slicker’n snot
But compassionate humans
Is one thing they’re not.
Tompkins County – the grayness is built in – there is no right or wrong; just a flat gray — and the flat refusal to see any other solution; but the one that is most profitable to the policy makers.
It’s emblematic that the gray fog of their excuses and justifications – hides the cold and unyielding gray of their immovable Doctrine.
A heartless gray – a gray of the change; the new chapter – and the closer one gets to the source; the greater the influence of its corruption.
