I'm thinking too of intentional polio-ization of blankets for the natives, enslavement of peoples based on absolute nonsense notions of race and/or color, and average lifespans being rather brutish, nasty, and short. I just don't see any golden age in the past. It's probably the result of doing more reading than is good for me.

Which is not to say that I don't want things (whatever "things" may mean) to get better . .

Now, see… with all the daily counter-this &

disassociate with-that, going doink down all

around, & ideas of exercising the inner grace

ascension…amidst outer disparagement &

circle o so-called life quest, I, personally (&

probly my bride too),  empathize with that

notion...pretty much completely, Herring. 

Thought to mention it a while ago…but

got distracted by something else maybe less important but in-my face no less.
