democracy never lasts long. it soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. there never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.

john adams


there's a lot of hate and destruction going on in this land of ours now. it's not just a rogue government playing havoc with the planet and it's citizens. there's a lot of citizen hate. on the other hand, of the same body, so to speak, there's a lot of love and creation going on. if we can be philosophical in a time of great destruction we might say everybody is just doing their thing, as they have done since the dawn of civilization through the heart of darkness that persists in the human paradox. and as with each new dawn, we will see how it goes. we will see what we will see.
