The pillars holding civilization are breaking all across the globe. I am questioning the ability to fix this country. Pretty pessimistic I know. It is becoming increasingly obvious that we are facing powers we don’t have a handle on.

The pillars holding civilization are breaking all across the globe

I heard someone on some talk show recently use this analogy as to what is happening in the world. (or maybe is was to describe what is happening in the US) Think of a single cell creature (amoeba?) dividing into 2 cells. Bet it is pretty painful to divide like that, but it is creating something new. I dunno, I kinda felt it comforting, but I am probably just silly. :)

I have to watch myself to make sure I don't become too cynical and discouraged too - - those forces can distort ...
