An anthology of posts In That Howling Infinite addressing issues political. They do so in a vein that Bob Dylan captures perfectly in his song of the same title.

We live in a political world
Love don’t have any place
We’re living in times
Where men commit crimes
And crime don’t have any face

We live in a political world
The one we can see and feel
But there’s no one to check
It’s all a stacked deck
We all know for sure that it’s real
