Hello T.L.

….”Insanely seeking their own destruction”. I don’t know enough people to know if what you said is true or not. But what I sense is that many go about their day as if it’s 1980. LaLa Land you might say.

On a day to day basis Federal happenings dominate awareness IMO. The self gratifying politicians are doing their selfish crooked things and District Court Judges defeat the DOJ. THAT IS OUR LIFE.

Locally, as I see it, there are no leaders who lead the community in such a way as to find a path where those many people you describe as “Insanely seeking their own destruction” can act and/or participate in ways that support common sense, family life, and community spirit. You and as individuals cannot be effective in any way.

But then we see Tommy in England create a march in London of hundreds of thousands…against all odds. We need Tommy’s here. We don’t have any.

Thoughts?

Great essay Mr. Davis. "If it were to collapse, I would see it as a positive. Not in the initial stages, of course, because that will be the ugliest side of humanity that I’ll ever witness, but eventually sanity will once again roll into view." I agree and have thought very similarly. A disaster or cataclysm of some kind, although costly in lives, would serve as a catalyst to an opportunity for a shift in governance, a return to the paradigm of limited government and the principle of federalism established by the Founding Fathers. The silver lining so to speak. An event of that magnitude would be terrible and costly, but it takes force, pressure, and effort to make something new and beautiful. Sanding rough wood to a fine finish for example. If enough educated, thoughtful, and INTERESTED citizens had been alert, our current situation would never have infected and festered our society and ruined our country.
