Janet, Oh how I wish I could see things as you do. I fear, though, that I am more cynical, and I perceive that Percy was too. The Death-Dealing Death-Loving 20th century as moved into the 21st with no respite. If we are merely altruistic as a nation, how is it that we let genocide go unchecked in places like Myanmar? I fear our interests are often (always?) control by corporate interests and lobbyists. The days of the knotheads are here. Let us hope we survive them. ps--it'd be fun to do a slow read of Love in the Ruins together on the list. Maybe we could spark up a little life? Anyone in? Rhonda Sent from my iPad
