A confession:
I've had a hard time, in the last several years, to retain my usual optimism. It seems everything I believe in vis a vis, our nation, such as environmental protection, world affairs, safety nets and care for our not-wealthy in healthcare, education, housing and so on and so on, ad nauseum, is being enviserated.
Anyone else experiencing this blue feeling of a downward spiral? How do you deal with it? I'm trying to act locally and caring globally, but it seems a daunting task these days.
Are we witnessing the End of Western Civilization? Will it end with a whimper?
Or a bang?
Am I being overly-concerned? How about you?
