The State of the World

OK, this is a Blog, or Web Log, so I guess that I’m supposed to write something. Comment on the world, my life, society, things of interest. Whatever.

Right now things are rather confused and scary. Active conflict in Lebanon and Israel, as well as Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places that most Americans couldn’t point to on a map, let alone intelligently discuss the reasons for fighting over them. Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornados, and fire ant infestations. The whole world seems to be going to shit.

Fear not. This is just a passing phenomenon enroute to the next passing phenomenon on the continuum of history. Good times follow bad, which are followed by more good and then more bad. Doobie Doobie Doo.

To paraphrase a wise old parable (or whatever it is), “this too shall pass.”
