is that we ARE there already. And I must have hidden my sarcasm a little too well.
We are in an asymmetrical battle here, and have been trying to exist in a world we knew which no longer exists, playing by rules that have been rendered moot by virtue of the fact that they are routinely ignored, if not openly mocked. And “strongly-worded-letters” have no effect on those who wont, or can’t, read. I don’t see the bridge from here to there anymore. The tricks in our bag no longer fool anybody.
I am a pacifist by nature and it’s frustrating that I’m haunted by vengeful ideation in response to our timeline and the constraints of civilization are not troubling to those getting tarted-up to abridge my Freedoms. I’m really out of options, as are you.
