Time killer?

Want to bet?  Here.  Not to... prove a point.  Just to... do my job?  *grins*

Talk about living on hope, with faith?

Just a little funny.

How did this happen?  Was it our "success"?  Is it a program to get rid of people?

I think they could fix this, but they want it.  Some of them.  Definitely the elites, and many bureaucrats.  Everything from getting the masses to beg for "protection", which will never be forthcoming, to job security.  Well, and death to a lot of people.  But such a slow, miserable, harsh, death.

The others actually offer some hope.  It may take a fall, back to the stone age, but... it could happen.  Harsh rules, harsh living, hard living, hard dying, but... natural.  I would say, to some rather serious extent, those who are mocked as being backward, awkward, who know nothing of politically correct pronouns or needles or pooping on streets... let alone actual streets as we know them, have it much more correctly.  A wife gets backhanded?  A child gets whipped?  A pedophile is hunted down and killed?  A dangerous stranger is shown the road?  I could live with that, even as a potentially dangerous considered stranger, in a small village.  Would rather it work right, than work as fantasists believe it should.  We have gone astray.  

It will happen, one way or another.  It is happening.  When the draw to the cities becomes less of value than the threat, people will go.  Getting them back will be quite difficult.  Even whole states have become, basically, cities... via the corruption of the vote and the power of that corruption.  No way to save some state-cities.  You know which ones.  And the others seem to be trying to become more like those, than to free themselves.  Money.  It isn't the root of all evil.  The lust of it, however, is.

There is hope, but it doesn't lie in cities, or state-cities, nations, or empires, but in small communities, traditions mostly lost, friends, and family.  The drug problem, though.  That... is the snag.  It seems to ensnare rural as much as urban.  The poverty that goes with it, in all it's forms, the lust... if not for money, what it obtains.  We are on the cusp of destruction, or... reduction.  Choose wisely, for yourself, and your own.
