We’re in the mud right now.

What we can know is that 100 years ago, the war ended with some lousy moves against Germany. Russia was having its Revolutionay honeymoon, and people were making tons and tons of money. Like today, the rich for richer and and aristocrats ruled (even Lenin came from a wealth family). The world lost many souls due to the 1918 Pandemic.

There was a facade of enthusiasm for life. Great works of art were created. Then financial collapse. Greater wars, shifts in world control.

I once read a history of Colonial America where the writer said that the one good thing to have come from the witch hunts was the separation of church and state. Amd I guess there was a theory that those accused of Witcher were so accused because they had ingested fermented or rotten wheat which caused crazy behavior and hallucinations.

I understand the concept of witchhunt, but I think it distracts from what is actually going on when it applies to the left at the moment. This failure of allowing open discourse and not allowing people to express themselves is too much…it ain’t good, but I , for whatever reason, think it’s temporary. I listen to my kids (my sons will be 19 at the end of October and my daughter just turned 21) and their friends…they’re open minded…they’re not lefties…they’re more liberaterian minded when it comes to American politics. They’re aware of what’s going on…not obsessed, but aware seem very reasonable in their assessments.

I know things could go horribly bad in the next decade, but I have faith in humanity that it won’t. I hope!

And this celebrity era, you know, everyone needs to define themselves via their opinions. Personally, I have yet to find anyone I’d lie to subscribe to.

Finally, Biden is not as much B. Sanders as he is H.Clinton in the early 90’s when she was still allowed to express herself. Thanks my 2 cents.
