WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

From one emergency to the next crisis and repeat.
I expect that will be the way of it from now until November 8th.

If Trump grabs the next 4 the insanity will continue, probably indefinitely.
See, a bunch of adults no longer accept responsibility for themselves and either, act like children, or let children in their charge, behave out of control. Behavior used to have consequences but, well, no more. Now, people get to do whatever they want and everybody else has to go pound sand.
The “father figure” has been gradually removed from this country over the last 40 years and it’s expected that the children will misbehave. When, “Just wait until your father gets home!”, is removed from the lexicon it translates all the way up the wire to the very top.
