Iโve lived through some terribly turbulent times in our nation and in the world. Vietnam almost tore this country apart. Watergate was a severe wound. The Manson murders shredded the fabric of our culture. 9/11 was shocking. The COVID pandemic and ensuing political madness were bitter and disgraceful.
I now feel, however, that the disturbing malaise poisoning our current world is in many ways worse than all of these other events. It is literally as if the world has spun off its axis, never to find balance again. Iโve never been more concerned about the future of the human race. And the worst part of all of it, is that itโs predictable, and therefore preventable. Everything thatโs wrong is staring us right in the face, and half this country simply will not join us in fighting and fixing it. Itโs infuriating and depressing and maddening.
