It may be dark, but probably best for a harsh reset in the US…it’s horrific as a society, culture and has become a monster of a country. We will learn to be strong again and hopefully, like the French, make better lessons of our next revolution.

But, hey, those $2 tchotchkes in the dollar bins of supercenters were worth it, right?
