It is why I have stopped writing. Trying to at least inform people of the consequences of their own reliance in trusting others to do what best for them is painfully pointless to me after the last few years. Covid was the tip of the iceberg. It has been used to decimate our natural rights and our constitution. I'm not sure if we can recover now that we have a generation of kids who can't read another persons facial features adequately enough to know good/bad, cannot speak directly to one another to get hired or even a date, and are petrified to say the wrong thing and be labeled. Its **cking absurd and we live it.

What projections came about from Shadows Live Under Seashells terrified me but what I see happening now has me thankful the first 50 were lived well, and I had my taste of freedom. Sadly, I fear that that promise afforded by the Framers, and even those given by God (or nature if you so choose) are already lost as those born here see no value to what the Framers constructed and see capitalism as slavery (you have to work how many hours for what you want???).

A few decades and I'm done here. My grown kids soiled their own beds with their decisions. I'm too old and have no desire to educate more. They'll have to sleep in it and come to understand the tools that were in place, the ones they downplayed to the point of discarding, are long gone. Blood, and not voices, will be need in great measure to restore things and, frankly, the 'sterner stuff' just isn't there as far as I can see.
