Every day I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence that will risk nothing and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well. |

that Europe has already lost their cospmas, and has entered the abyss.New thought. Separate:Of all the recent presidents, the administration during which I personally did best was ironically that of Bill Clinton. Yes, he was a liberal, and a Democrat. And, he had his moral failures. But, his presidency and agenda had been co-opted by conservatives. His liberal agenda had not been allowed to fly. He was a check and balance against Congress, and Congress was a check and balance against him. Fast forward. During the Bush presidency, the so-called neocons caused our national wealth to be squandered on their agenda for America. All attempts to balance the budget went out the window. This did not work at all. America was dissatisfied, and voted for the opposite party, who promptly enacted the agenda which had been held in check during the Clinton years. That has really greased the toboggan slide! Now, it seems the brakes are being applied, but it may already be too late.The last time I felt so uneasy about our future was during the 1960 s when my entire generation went crazy with drugs and began fomenting an anti-American revolution. That went on for much longer than was healthy for the country, but gradually common sense returned, beginning in the early 1980s. We do get those crazy periods from time to time, even accompanied by a severe drop in ethics amongst our elected officials. Let's hope this all gets resolved sooner than later. Unfortunately, I believe we've got too much fear rhetoric and distrust driving the political situation, and it may require longer to right the wrong directions, with far more human suffering involved. Let's hope that I am wrong!BB |
