When discussing “current events,” and the distressing rise of right-wing extremists, authoritarians, neo-nazis, I’d wondered aloud if many Americans, and much of the world, had become too comfortable, had not had to endure the hardships of previous generations, leading to ignoring history (ignore, the root of ignorance), wrapping up in their comforter of real or imagined privilege and entitlement, and adoption and acting on a “pull up the ladder” “I’ve got mine, screw anyone and everyone else” theory of life.

An ally noted an old German saying:

“When things are going well for the donkey,

the donkey goes out on the ice.”

In too few days, this country will again be lead by a braying ass!

We’re out there on thin ice. Now’s the time to brush up on swimming skills, put on the wet-suit and a life-preserver or two.
