Black Comedy is a farce that is played in the dark, as you know, with the lights full on. It's the Chinese convention of reversing light and dark, and exactly where anybody is at any given moment is the play. ↗

As Bill Clinton said so eloquently at the convention, during Vietnam there was a chance to serve; there was a chance not to serve. ↗
