Sorry, I've been neglecting my blog. My cheapo dial-up internet is too slow and I lose patience with it. Bad, that is, I am a patient person normally.
I am growing to think that the Epoque Americaine is coming to a slow sad end. Is this the end time? Will the world end? NO! I worry that a devalued economy, political ideological bickering, and the crumbling of our infrastucture will spell the greatest challenge for this imperfect union.
I hate political ideology. Hello! For over 150 years, the USA did well enough on its on without globalization. But as people like me who lost a job to foreign outsourcing know, the pain of going somewhere like the Big Evil (walmart), the stupification of personal worth.
How can I still be upset? I've spent 4 years there. I have been on a medically-approved leave of absence, stress got to me, you know.
I can't help but feel bad for nobility in Europe murdered by 'revolutionaries'. I hope they look down on Europe today and know the mistake of those peasants gave rise to things like Nazism and the Evil Empire. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 is something I will never forget. I don't know when it was acceptable to think of Russia as a friend. Perhaps it's not.
Representative democracy? Pericles would laugh.
I wish I was born 100 years before I was, often. Life was not so upsetting then.
I'll update this more, perhaps be sweeter. I have a sweet heart, you know.
