I identified so much with what you said about having ignorant friends. If you try to talk to them about what is really undermining society, they say OMG! You don’t really believe that do you! And then get bored as you try to explain yourself. It is a lonely place to be. I want to talk to my sister because she should know better, our parents didn’t raise us as stupid fools but she takes antidepressants and is numb and unaffected by anything. I feel like we are all in a plane that we know is about to crash but everyone else is drinking and eating and staring at the little tvs on their seats while we look out the windows in horror.

It doesn't help to vote. Emma Goldman was right. If voting were going to change anything they wouldn't let us do it, she said. We are going to have to build a culture that is resilient and that values freedom and decency. We won't be doing that in the big cities.

A very smart man once said that power flows from the provinces into the cities. If you look, you see that water and food do, too. Communication lines are still a major aspect of our networks and they cross through the rural areas.

We still have Christendom out here in "fly over" country. Come visit. We have pie. And we'll keep a light on for you.

God bless you. It matters very much that you care. God willing, we shall overcome. Amen.
