yes you are correct. Hey I'm not religious, the words just seem appropriate.
I would really like to find a positive somewhere in this US election campaign, but I just can't see one. Not for the US, and long term, for her allies. And look at Europe.
The forces in place are not subject to an individual, or a country. It is a replaying of the human condition down through the ages. Much as we as individuals like to think that power and money (mana) will save the day, we ignore the lessons of history. Seems we are to repeat, over and over, the follies of our past. It might as well be Ancient Rome we are discussing.
I am glad I have no children, or grandchildren, as I see no future for the young we raise, but more conflict and disaster.

I like to be positive, but in this reality, I live each day and enjoy what it brings.
My thoughts for the future? I think we have the potential to be better than we are,, but.....we haven't learned from the past, and we will continue as we always have.
