A couple of weeks ago, a mentor and person I greatly admire (a sensei, if you will) said to me “Don’t let the termites get you down…” This cat is heavy and, as some go, not only a decent human being but one of the few that has matriculated from animal to person (a “progressively” more and more difficult feat).
Kenyatta - I had no clue your writing had progressed to next-level artistry. Absolutely amazing work. Your truth telling is an excavation of the social landfill we're all dying in - a place many commentators love to talk about, but few dare to descend with only a shovel, notepad, and a commitment to report what exactly it is their eyes are seeing. Thank you for your efforts, and courage. You're needed, just the same as Thom or any other of our moral lighthouses.
Your narrative, and Diana's comments below are such powerful truths that not even a fool should err. I am grateful and thankful that I no longer live in shithole USA. European designed economic, political, and religious ideologies, i.e., Capitalism, Democracy, and Christianity, in particular, are the reasons America is a shithole country. But you'll already know that. Enjoy your day as best you can. With 2 guns per citizen, it won't be easy, but give it "the old college try". And even if you can't leave America, you can leave alone their destructive paradigms that are destroying humanity worldwide. Just sayin.

"an excavation of the social landfill we're all dying in."
Marvelous!

Brother Edwards, you are the brightest of lights and it is wonderful to hear from you.
Beautiful
But, we are Christians. Maybe that’s why Jesus weeps.
Way above my paygrade Gene.
