Life is crap?
Southwest Florida is a place many autoworkers go to retire, and also where the Red Sox spring eternal. The tee shirt of choice this season is something titled “Life is Crap”, with various examples of misfortune sketched on the shirt. The sentiment is more than just a recession-era moniker, or a spoof of “Life is Good”, for at the end of an American life many elder Floridians seem to be bitter at best, and resentful at worst. Much about life has recently lost its meaning; money, politics, religion, the press and now baseball. Yes, Spring is almost here, but will the steroid-addled national pastime go the way of UAW symbol Clint Eastwood in “Gran Torino”?
