Post-America



Except at moments of conversions --of which I have had more than my share in my life-- we tend to select our perceptions according what will re-enforce our narrative and world-view.

Our national behaviors make the most sense to me if I see them as the incipient dynamics either of a) a tyranny that will transform The Most Foolish People On The Planet(c)  into strangers in their own land, the new Indians, or b) a catastrophic implosion that will lead to secession(s) and the birth of new nations where America once stood.

ExCathedra would, of course, prefer the second of these two grim possibilities.
