"Trouble coming"

  Does "Democracy" die in darkness, as the WaPo heading says?

  Perhaps a revolution can occur in the midst of confusion, as that thought crosses my mind.  There's a lot of noise out there.  Perhaps we can do with less, not more.

  You can cling to the well-established ways for the sake of stability.  Laws are made during times of calm.  When laws are made during turbulence, a lot more mistakes get made.  Decisions are best when made during times of quiet reflection.

  A lot of finger-pointing too.  Rather than that, one can look inward at oneself, and look for one's own mistakes first.  After all, it is in the Gospel.

  I'd like to think that things are improving despite all the "sound and fury", a lot of this signifies "nothing".
