Well, think how bored we’d get otherwise.
we are coming up on the 100 anniversary of the
assassination of the archduke Franz Ferdinand
on June 28 and the start of the Great War just
a little of a month later,
and “some damn thing in the Balkans” is taking
place right before our eyes, while Obama fumbles
the nuclear football.
It doesn’t get much more interesting than this.
I see you subscribe to the Chinese Curse Theory of world affairs re: “interesting times.” I’d extend that to observe that it appears Santayana was prescient.
