Thank you for bringing these words out and putting them here. It helps.<br /><br />Blessings to you and yours,<br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453225203248742297.post-39629229622103553222012-07-22T14:15:54.541-07:002012-07-22T14:15:54.541-07:00Amen.

I just don't...I understand how you feel, Maia.<br /><br />I just don't share your optimism.<br /><br />The U.S. of 2012 seems to me to be as divided and irreconcilable as it has been since before I was born; in fact, I'd argue that we are more divided than we've been since before the Great Depression. The best had no conviction and the worst are full of ignorant strength;(http://www.firedirectioncenter.blogspot.com/2012/06/american-plow.html)<br /><br />I don't think this has anything to do with this madman. Random nutters tend to make the news precisely because we live in perhaps as peaceful an age and as tranquil a nation as has ever been. Plagues? Barbarian invasions? Pogroms? Global wars? Haven't seen them lately, have we? We're actually remarkably free from the sorts of massive and deadly violence that has been the norm throughout human history.<br /><br />Sadly, the sorts of things that WILL kill us, such as anthropogenic global warming, are just the sorts of things that our division into liberal foolishness and regressive insanity will prevent us from taking any action against until too late.<br /><br />I am very afraid for our children's America.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453225203248742297.post-84627587057911447432012-07-21T06:42:47.118-07:002012-07-21T06:42:47.118-07:00Beautifully said, Maia.

It may seem trite to say this, but you write so well that you really convey the depth of truth in so many of your posts. Thank you.<br /><br />Carole xxxCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653616583133892055noreply@blogger.com
