Young British Diplomat: "But sir, the empire is in pearl!"
Allan Quartermain: " You're probably too young to realize, there is rarely a time in our history that we're not in some sort of pearl."
This quote by Sean Connery from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen neatly sums up the state of America, and indeed the world. There are wars in eastern Europe and the middle east, a growing national debt, and many other issues to be delt with, but things are not falling apart as many claim. The right wings eagerly anticipated economic recession under Joe Biden has never materialized, Donald Trump, his lawyers, and family members are being held in check by the legal system, wild claims of widespread voter fraud have been proven false many times, the bulk of the MAGA goons who defaced our capital building are now behind bars, and, at long last, we have a House speaker (at least for now) For those here who want to "burn it all down" I'd suggest you rethink your position. It's not necessary.
I for one am cautiously optimistic. 🙂
