Folks,
I am 59 years old, seen a lot of things in my lifetime both good and bad. Right now I have never seen so much dissent, anger, rage, lack of listening, interrupting, and such a lack of basic respect that I am stunned. I mean lots of us left “R” because of the general tone and lack of respect, another one of my lists has blown up. Twice now. They have had to shut down the comments. I know politics right now are the worse they have ever been. It seems like no middle ground and it is so distressing. I don’t keep up with local, city, state, national and international news. This is something I use to take pride in. I don’t believe the media and I have been in situations where they got it wrong. No I am sorry, or retraction, while I love sites like this, I don’t snap-chat, insta-gram, and don’t know all the acronyms, nor do I care to.
I feel rather anxious, not only because of the lack of civility but the tenor going into the next election. A group of women has noticed a change in the dynamics of our knitting group. We now do not discuss R, politics(to some extent), and yet these are important topics. (R maybe not so much.)
Where are we going? As a country, a people? Are we going over a cliff? Should I learn to can? buy MREs? a water purifier. I got the wool! Back East businesses were given emergency kits, I wonder why, don’t they have that already and why is the local/state giving out these things. What do they know that we don’t?
My friends are all into some type of conspiracy. I love them dearly, disagree quietly, and wonder just what is going on.
What are your thoughts.
