I am always ...It does seem hopeless doesn't it? I am always amazed at the crazed look on the faces of family members of mine as they vote against their own interests election after election. <br /><br />We have to remember that the human species is a type of ape. We do not often look to apes as fonts of wisdom (even though there might be some wisdom to have from that source). Our ability to manipulate the world has outrun our ability to behave well in the role of our species....and we are reaping the results of that imbalance.<br /><br />We are the animals that have lost our way and many Americans are among the most lost of all.<br /><br />You are not alone in your dismay, not that such is much comfort.<br /><br />Back when Reagan was elected I was convinced that the majority of Americans that voted were whacked out......nothing I have seen since has changed my mind. But, I have to remember, the voters once elected FDR and JFK. <br /><br />But...that was long ago and maybe in a distant galaxy. :-)veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.com
