Late start for a dreary morning

Sorry, I worked a bit late last night, and I'm tired.

A quick scan of the news reveals more of the same kind of stuff that may wear you down.  Nothing here to inspire.

What's the trouble?  Let's look at the big picture.

Really, the whole problem is in the leadership.  How many times does it have to be said?  The public doesn't get it, but that's because the information they are getting is bad.  This is not easily corrected.  But there's no will amongst the GOP to do even that much.  So, what do you do?  Crawl into a hole and suck your thumb?

Or analyze it for the upteenth time.  Okay, what the heck.

It may well be the case that all of this is unavoidable.  Civilizations get old just like people do.  The weaken and may even die out.  Although China's been around nearly the whole time.  The trouble with Western Civilization is that it really goes bad when it goes bad.  When the Roman Empire fell in the West, it was followed by the Dark Ages.  During that time, it was nearly overwhelmed by the Islamic invasion.  The West nearly went out for good at that time.

The thing that is happening today is reminiscent of the latter stages of the Roman Empire.  It let in barbarians and failed to adequately protect its culture.  The result was eventual collapse.  Same thing is happening today with all the immigration and multiculturalism.  The West is losing its sense of self just as the Romans did.

Is there anything that can be done in order to assure its long term survival, or is it hopeless?

The frustrating thing is that there are things that can be done, but aren't being done.  There is no will.  Or if there is, it is the wrong kind.

So, we are march on to the drum beat of a death cult which has overtaken the West.  A dreary thought to start the day, but what can you do?
