This essay is excellent,Alan. Excellent. And now I sit here wondering what next to say/write.

Good news? Some people see this happening and are trying to make a difference. ( I am counting small, everyday, positive efforts as well)

Really bad news? The percentage in that good news category is tiny.

Am I worried ? Terrified.

I know far to many saying things like: “ I don’t listen to or read the news anymore. I don’t want to know” Really? And that’s a good thing?

I’m afraid that statement about the “news”translates to things like ” Just leave me alone so I can go shopping at the mall/ play a round of golf/ whatever…

Here I am, out of words again.
