The End Is Near

  Remember those old cartoons of some rag tag bearded prophet, holding a sign claiming doomsday was at hand? At least it's the end of this horrendous election cycle. Americans are about to decide the future direction and moral compass we will follow. We will follow one of two path's. Either people matter or they don't. It's the golden rule or the law of the jungle. I think mankind, as a whole ,is periodically genetically driven to this decision.This genetic compulsion flares up in the form of moral outrage every 50 years or so. It has triggered every war ever fought. Just look at the indignation during the Civil War over slavery or the scape goating of Germany's economic problems by blaming Jews. On and on it goes. War is a total abomination yet there is always a some reason found to have one. This build up of bile is quite evident watching the recent political campaigns. We are about to find out if America's body can absorb the infection or it erupts into gangrene.
