Less than 2 weeks

I asked several classes, over the last few days about whether or not they would be able to tell / discern that the Roman Empire was crumbling, if they were a Roman citizen in the year 460 AD.

The Metrolink train that crashed into the freight train in Chatsworth - the Metrolink had 3 cars and it was rounding a turn heading in to the tunnel (except the freight train exited the tunnel and headed straight toward it). The fact the train was on a curve allowed car 3 passengers to SEE what would, within moments, happen. What can you do.

What if you were a rather intuitive type and could sense something - could you, would you do something to stop it if you could.

More than 24 people died in the train crash. What if we could intuitively sense much worse about to befall the country. What do you do? Then again, what if 50+% think differently ... does that mean my sense of events and history is wrong - or might they be wrong, and if I am wrong, what is the loss - not much, I am a loon who fears the sky falling. What if I am right.

The confluence of events is disturbing - serious and significant events. Events that will, transform the landscape economically, for decades. Events that will transform the political landscape for at least a decade. Events that will reverberate across the international landscape for decades, and may result in the loss of tens of thousands of lives, possibly much higher.

What do you do.

Pray that the American people make the right decision? But we have banned praying and God is all but forbidden in the US. That won't work. And besides - if I said I prayed that he would lose, someone would say I am a X/Y wing Christian fanatic. What irony.

Hope that in the next ten days, events unfold that allow the American people a more perceptive look at the candidates and allow them to make the choice that is best for the future of the country, not necessarily for any group or any segment, but for the very future of the country.

46 years ago this month, an event that nearly brought the US to the brink and beyond. We cannot do this again.

I may forgo the wall and moat and concentrate on buying property in St. Croix. Safe from the madness of a foolish administration and an inexperienced administrator - safe from nearly everything, and a good place to hide for four years until sanity returns.



I can only hope.I
