Gladly reciprocated by another who has lived long enough to know that just when you think you’ve seen every conceivable variety of nonsense in the way your country is run, there’s another just round the corner. I’m an incorrigible optimist, but that’s feeling harder to sustain now than at any time I can remember.
I hear you and I sympathize. We feel the same way over here -- personally, I think Trump's policies are helping; but the overall collapse may only be postponed, because the collapse of morality is proceeding apace. Same over there, from what I read.
Bless you, and keep praying.
