Not Failed Yet, But Failing

We are failing as a people.  Because we cling to illusion, to our emotionally anchored beliefs and false “facts.” Because, in Jack Nicholson’s character’s words, we “can’t handle the truth.”

And so the climate swirls in changes, summer arrives bizarrely early, the rhythms of nature are perverted, the economic guts of the country are eaten out. 

But hey, the game’s on.  Return to the anesthetic.
