What a day

In the retirement community today: a diagnosis of leukemia, three ambulances, a pet death, a resident death. Reality 101 here.

Slow move

Stuff here to apt or garage, 3 carloads a day. Slow steady going. Maybe I'll get my life back.

Moving

Rented an apt, save money, more freedom. Details later.

The Political Glass

Half-empty: Only a violent revolution, as in the past, can remove the corporate power brokers and lead to a genuine redistribution of wealth, to equality, opportunity and freedom. The two party system is impotent. History suggests that there is no genuine systemic revolution that is peaceful, though skirmishes may be.

Half-full: Women, by their biological differences, are perfectly placed to create and lead a revolution not driven by testosterone and warrior myths, which might lead to methods and results never seen before. They are the last peaceful alternative and hope.
