Wilderness—in America, you go out there and then you come back. Like Lewis & Clark. Or like Jesus (the original one, not the child-diddler). Or like Nixon. He lost in 60 and in 62, and he went out into the wilderness and came back in 68. Goldwaterites—as you point out, they went away in 64 and came back in 80.
So—wait—what’s your point? That the wilderness doesn’t exist? Or that you can come back from the wilderness not cleansed but even filthier?
