Amazing at how well Yeats sums up the cultural and political trends we are witnessing develop at a rapidly accelerating pace.

Interestingly, Yeat’s gyre analogy is remarkably similar to the riptide analogy used by the author of this commentary. (A gyre is, of course, a circular , whirlpool like current with much in common to a riptide)

Yeat’s verse that really hits home to me is -

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

It sums up, in a nut shell, the situation we find ourselves in these days.

Even now, a majority of American's see what is going on around them and realize that something is very wrong but we simply cannot muster the courage and summon the will to to put a foot down and say enough is enough to the passionate zealots who work tirelessly and will stop at nothing to ram their wicked agenda down our throats.

Their motto and battle cry is -”by any means necessary” and they are deadly serious about the “by any means” approach to what they feel is “necessary” .
