Changes.

As my health has been figured out, I am sort of waking into a very dark world.  As I arrange my life, finally, the rest of the world is falling apart.  So be it.  I, like always, will live where I am as I can.  However, I cannot ignore the signs and portents.  I must consider my place in this new paradigm, or at least more open version of it.  I haven't completely decided what changes will take place, but I know some of them immediately.  Public comments on politics, or even politically affiliated considerations, must end.  That includes, and particular, with my family.  Life is now considered dangerous.  Who knows who would pass on what, even seemingly to them innocently.  There are other problems with communicating such.

I have to think there have been people in the past who realized the situation and tried to extricate themselves in order to save themselves.  I also know what I am considering is not good in the long term.  It has failed, for larger groups right down to individuals almost every time it has been attempted.  I don't have a long term.  And while there is the good of the whole to consider, as I see it, the whole chose their fate.  They were headed this way before I was born, they are simply on a faster and faster track.  I take heart in some of Christ's last words... Forgive them, for they know not what they do.  For my part and for theirs, as possible as not.

I must figure out, as a man who has lived quite openly for most of my life, to shut off some things.  Some information can no longer be transmitted, in any form.  Opinions and thoughts must be regulated.  No, they won't change, they simply cannot be shared.  If I had children, they too would be excluded to some degree, less so if home-schooling though.  At least I am not in the droves who are about to be added to the unemployment line.  And I already receive socialized medicine, so I won't have to face that as a new level of bureaucracy in my life.  And I am learning to live more and more off the grid, shut down, and simply do what I do.  I fear the cost increases in fuel, electricity, and such.  Though I am not sure it would have mattered who won on that score.  I think it has been decided, by both parties, to charge more for power.

The main thing, for me now, is to figure out how to live in a third-world nation.  That would have been going on either way, though a little less so in some ways with a different outcome.  I will only warn you, that if you disagree, disagree privately and quietly.  You are now a target.  That is the last time I will speak on any such matters.  Good luck
