Happy New Year folks.

If the world situation was the result of mere opportunism and political corruption I might be more in agreement with the Blogfather.

I believe that Western Civ may well be suicidal. Our American political class is a fail across ethical, technical, and competence measures. The fault is no "them" to levy blame for any specific failing. We have failed as a nation, failed in the primary duty born by citizens.

Being free means being responsible. The founders built our republic on that foundation. We have walked away from the rock and now swim in a swamp of our own making.

The future is not written.
