It looks like you found your second wind! lol
I hear you, and I really appreciate your honest perspective... I have to admit that I wasn't sure if the first part was sarcasm, but it quickly became clear. And I laughed out loud at the cat comment!)
You're not wrong about any of it. We are in serious trouble... and it's not about rules anymore, but the people who have adopted them as ridiculous paradigms. If something epic doesn't snap into place soon, there won't be much left to hold dear.
I think what we're seeing now is the effect of an epic shift in the way people view government and media that IS snapping into place. Of course, we'll burn down everything we hold dear while it snaps into place, but then we'll build shiny new things, and hold them dear...
I don't hate that concept... but I feel like it will never be the right people doing the building. I'm a hopeless skeptic though (who is trying to keep a little hope for my 11-year-old daughter). It should be an interesting decade to watch play out.
