The Proponent of Happiness

Last night I dreamt that General Petraeus of the United States Central Command was on a set in a vast government warehouse. Soldiers and technicians were crowded around the set, watching. He was in his digital BDUs, sitting in a Hummer. High-tech military hardware was strategically placed all around him. Kleig lights were blazing away, and the cameras began rolling. General Petreus looked out the window of his Hummer and said, loudly and with great force, "We keep building and buying more hi-tech equipment, thinking it will solve our problems." He got out of the car and strode out onto the bare set, looking directly into the camera. "I AM THE SOLUTION." I woke up a changed man.
