If we are facing an imminence, then it is perhaps due in greatest course from the illusion of the society we have created. We have indeed become our own worst enemy. We simply cannot avoid getting in our own way most of the time, and while we struggle with ourselves trying to decide with resolve how we ought to be in this world of ours, we allow the festering pimple of tyranny and exploit to contaige across the planet, and reward hatred and abuse where we would previously have isolated and excised the infection.

I grow weary of working and paying for a system that no longer serves the greater interest. Would that there were another way, but alas my more recent forefathers sold out what was once a great system of freedom and accountability in order that the weak and the fools might not perish as would naturally occur otherwise.
