We live in difficult times. Society is closely divided by political tribalism. People in power, on both sides, try desperately to stay in power, and frequently use these tribal divisions for that purpose. Truth and logic are twisted to match whatever one or the other side need it to be. Fierce arguments ensue.
And yet, we also live in an age of technological marvels! So much of the things we have now were considered to be just science fiction 50 years ago. Worldwide communication with a small handheld device is one. Did you know that in three to five years a fully implantable bio-mechanical kidney may be available? Very good news for millions of people with failed kidneys like me!
But technology also has a dark side. We can now start a war and destroy much of the planet in minutes. God help us!
With the November elections coming soon I greatly appreciate that no political diatribe has been put on the board! Thank you for your restraint! Dialysis leaves me tired, foggy, and sometimes depressed. I have little energy left to referee the board!
Some of you know that I have decided to join FaceBook. I never thought I would, but now that I am pretty much housebound I decided to take a sip from the poisoned well. (There's an old learning story behind that statement. It involves witches, kings, and townspeople. Anyone interested in hearing it can contact me. ) And there appears to be a lot of politics on that site.
May you all be in good health and good spirits! God bless you all!
