There are so many absolutely appalling human-generated crises going on in the world. People of normal conscience and intelligence, basic humanity and awareness are in fact appalled, are outraged; some are speaking out, protesting and resisting… Some are feeling simply powerless, wondering how these terrible things are being permitted to go on happening.
Wondering who is going to step in and take whatever steps are necessary to restore sanity and safety and call to account those currently reveling in greed, cruelty, and destruction. Wondering why no one has done it yet, wondering in the face of escalating chaos who is empowered to take effective action if there is in fact actually anyone?
With a rogue Party controlling Congress and supporting the chaos-makers, our strongest defense is the vote, which is why the chaos-makers are making every move they can think up to weaken that defense.
My feeling is that whatever is to be done has to be done within the boundaries of the system we’re trying to protect and defend: the Constitution and the ‘rule of law’ –those exact things the Chaos-makers are trying to destroy.
In the meantime… The nature of chaos is unpredictability: Who knows what deliberate or unforeseen event happens next to add weight to one side or another? What outrage or encouragement will come next? My own hopes and fears leap around like a yo-yo on a string that keeps changing length!
I’ve never loved suspense…
LOOSELY SPEAKING...
