Everything’s fine.

Nothing changes in our society until this starts to hurt many more people in a much more meaningful way. Like McMurtry sings ….

“We just go on about our business,
Drop the kids off at the mall,
Play the Black Ops on the laptop
Don’t get too excited ‘bout it all”

This will probably devolve to an attempt at martial law, because that’s what it’s going to take to finally move enough of us. If even that. Hope by then, it isn’t too late.
