Are we there yet? Oh. I see.
It has been a sober (metaphorically) time for many, I believe, although as we know, most of those around us have no idea what is going on. And I wonder whether it is even important to tell anyone.
If the system fails to take every source of real political power into consideration, then its just a matter of time, unless adjustments can be made.
Frankly, no one knows if this system is sufficiently self-correcting or not.
If you look at the numerous environmental disasters, you may well guess that there is no self-correction.
On the other hand, I do see some signs of improvement, in j peg format, which is originally from Scott Horton (sorry I should have put up the link earlier).
But I tend to be fairly optimistic in general. Maybe I will talk more of my optimism at a more appropriate time.
