Is capitalistic democracy a system of violence?

At times I wonder what isn't violent in our society. Fitful thrusts and carry-on luggage. Broken bridges and city workers with donuts and pot bellys.

There is no such thing as a "return"; there is just forward like an empty chariot pulled along by a team of horses.

I think that the key is that I am sometimes enthralled and even excited by what repulses me the most. I am a man of my generation. Plodding on.
