Hello again Sed. Been a while.

So…

Do you believe, as seemingly Dan Carlin seems to, that the biggest threat to our nation/system/stability is actually the deep division between what might be called the extremes of the left/right and the politicians who exploit that?

What, by your estimation, might be a step in the right direction in this climate?

For some reason, I have a hunch this will get worse very soon…

:(

[I wouldn’t worry. This stuff is nothing compared to the 60s—and many of the previous decades—and the most vocal on both sides are the biggest cowards. It’s one thing to pepper spray someone from the shield of a mask in a crowd or yell “kill the juice” from a phalanx of overweight white guys. It’s another completely to poke your head out of a fox hole in a real conflict. Dan is a very savvy dude. The main problem from my view of this division is how IDENTICAL the two sides are. Both feel victimized when neither are victims. Both feel human rights are only for their kind of humans. Both would love to see death and violence befall the other. The side that tried to commit genocide on the Native Americans is slap boxing with the side that owned slaves. It’s frustrating because of how wrong EVERYONE is. There is no one to speak to… except you, apparently. :P They are all committed to their scripts. I don’t even reply to friends on Facebook and such. I just post my insect and shark pictures and linger in some curiosity about how I ever had the energy to care or think anyone wanted things to be better. They just want to feel like they’re right regardless of any possible reality that might intrude. Whelp! I guess this is the beginning of our darkest season ever on Sedition·com…]

[…because the world is full of idiots that don’t understand what’s important. And they’ll tear us apart, man! But if you stick with me, I’m gonna accomplish great things, and you’re gonna be part of ’em. And together we’re gonna run around, we’re gonna… do all kinds of wonderful things, man. Just you and me, my friend. The outside world is our enemy… we’re the only… friends we’ve got, man! It’s just Sedition and you. Sedition and their adventures. SEDITION FOREVER AND FOREVER A HUNDRED YEARS Sedition… some…things… Me and Sedition runnin’ around and… Sedition Time… a- all day long forever… all a - a hundred days Sedition! Forever a hundred times… Over and over Sedition…adventures dot com… W-W-W dot at Sedition dot com W…W…W… Sedition Adventures… ah- hundred years… every minute Sedition dot com… W-W-W a hundred times… Sedition dot com…]

Another year's passin' Sed. I'll drink a cold one tonight and hope you're right...

The only thing that surprised me there is that you have a Facebook. I guess it's the only way to keep up with distant loved ones nowadays.
