There are 4 ironies in modern American life that I struggle greatly with.
First. The system that our framers devised to prevent a tyrant from seizing the state (the electoral college) is in fact doing exactly the opposite. The EC is the only way the tyrant can and does win.

This, written by Teddy Roosevelt just prior to US intervention in WW1, seems apt to quote re. America:
“The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

We no longer allow commercials that show highly addictive things...right?
No tobacco.
No alcohol.
But, every damn sports event is encouraging gambling addicts to act out.
It makes no sense.
