The link below is an important story, not because of the pipeline, but because it shows the disorder we are declining into. My nephew’s wedding could easily have been on a violent night of that constant demonstration and we would all have endured teargas or something upon leaving as our second dessert. There is much discussion whether or not Hillary Clinton should be charged and tried for her alleged crimes. To many it is a simple question of right or wrong. But those in leadership face a different issue. To arrest and bring to trial a leader from the prior regime seems more like a banana republic than the USA. Perhaps to do that acknowledges, in fact, that we have become a banana republic.
Many people interpret today’s events, our political struggles and divisions, through the lenses of past experience. Consequently they plan strategies that way which often backfire. What’s going on is something new. I don’t know what final arrangements will emerge, but it seems apparent that we are in the first innings of a likely redefined future.
