I'm so tired of the intractable mess. I've been reading one of Tam's suggestions and even after making due allowance for Canadiazation of the author's viewpoint -- it is a whole different country, after all, and the guy grew up there -- it's a depressing read. One of our greatest strengths, the way in which the United States is a wonderful shambling mess of zany ideas, wild notions and a political system that tries -- tried -- to steer clear of the worst shoals and not screw up too badly, is also a weakness and it may break us yet.
I hope not.
I hope not, too. It's sad that the most dangerous thing I do now is attend my synagogue. And the thought of state secession, etc brings the question of if we hams would even exist
