Some are expressing hopelessness. NOT helpful. Some are just now realizing what burdens others are carrying -- we'll see where that goes. <br /><br />IMHO there is too much respect for "laws" up against people who have no intention of even finding out what the laws are. No reflection or discussion of what any particular law could be. No sense that laws can be negotiated. <br /><br />Most amazing is the dossiers of offenses and slights and sins on the part of each other. Dates, times, all sorts of "facts" though unproven. Mostly he-said,she-said. It would be so easy to project this onto a country where people betray their neighbors to a higher authority in order to save themselves. And then there are people who are amused, as though the anguish of those struggling with problems is just a TV show, maybe even Downton Abbey, because many frame it as "haves" against "have nots." The ironic part is how much we ALL have here!<br /><br />Prairie MaryMary Strachan Scriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538160009129822362noreply@blogger.com
