The Berlin Wall Fell

The Berlin Wall fell, and the Patriot Act arose.

I had thought this a profound phrase, but it disappears as the Middle East goes up in flames. The world is changing quickly. Google the news and watch Venezuela make arms deals with Russia, the World Trade processes falling apart, typhoons in China, and, well, you've heard the war news.

I am making progress at work, and the world is falling apart. I may be able to retire in 15 years and three-storey buildings are reduced to rubble.

The donkeys are very sweet even though the bridles don't quite fit right and I don't know how to cinch up the saddle. Maybe a friend will help me get the cinch on right! I just need to keep trying! We will be looking for a teacher to show us how to "ground drive." This is what you do before you get a cart!

It's a very big world, and if something bad happens somewhere in that vast world, that's today's headline. The news makes it sound like everything's horrible, but the news reports only exceptional things. War is the exception. The Middle East isn't burning. It's a large area where some of the people are making war now, and most of them are not. I agree with Penn Jillette, who reminds us that for the most part, the world is getting better all the time.
