Hubris is perfect. Everything is so polarized, so adversarial. Politicians have completely lost their ability to engage in civil discourse, to act for the greater good. Greed wins again and is never abated except by bloody civil wars. :-\ Nice writing, Sharon, a soulful voice in dark times.

People are so sure in their believes--we are way too enlightened for this nonsense to actually take place here, we are better than that, not in my backyard and so on... And that is scary. Because so many just say the words, but do nothing about them... so in the end, madness might win, and leave open-mouthed in a world raining poo on us. I pray that is not the case. <br /><br />Powerful, Sharon. Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.com
