On a pale horse death rides…
by Jack Grant…this time accompanied by anarchy, chaos, and despair. Famine and pestilence are not far behind, with war possibly in a different guise than we are accustomed.
No science and technology posts from me today, nor any likely tomorrow as well.
No “letters from Europe” either, although I have much to write about on that topic.
Too much has happened, too many lives lost on scales both large and small, too much destruction, too much naked revelation of the true nature of humanity, both in the center of the disaster and in the attempts of those directly unaffected to gain some ephemeral advantage.
I have tried to show how we, Americans, are part of humanity as a whole.
Yet, when I am not ignored I am ridiculed for having “lived too long among the French”.
I have nothing left to say, it is all here.
I have done my best, and I refuse to give up.
Sometimes, though, all you can do is despair.

Jack;
Even in the midst of your despair, you provide more inspiration than all the ‘Happy Wanderers’ who blithely fiddle while babies parch. Bt the way; at what point does a ‘positive’ outlook become delusion?

Who are you to argue with one of the greatest scientific minds of the universe?
