These comments could not have come at a better time for me. I was just talking about the craziness with a friend and wondering how we got here and why so many people buy into the psychopathy. I see the situation a little more clearly now. It does feel unreal . So it’s good to know I’m not alone feeling that way.

I have been saying this for years. Most people around the world just want a decent life. That is a quote from Johnny got his gun. When I read that, it hit me hard as being total truth. One of the biggest mistakes that most of us make is thinking that everyone thinks like we do. Reading another book, one of the characters, who was a thief, was thinking, if they let me get away with it, they deserve what they get. Another epiphany. So we had a good world, the envey of the world with our large, successful middle class and we got complacent. We let what used to be called the robber barons take over and turn us into surfs. I am afraid that this will happen again and again, if we are still around because we don’t really understand what we are up against.
