IN THE QUIET MORNING - a photo on Flickriver

Kingsburg, Ca.
It was, indeed, a quiet morning, and while many of my neighbors post U.S. flags outside of their personal fortresses, this one was new. The song by Baez is about Janis Joplin, yet it seems fitting. To me our country has been wandering in the wilderness ever since Vietnam. So like Janis, something passed way too early. That something was a belief that we could live in peace among ourselves and with other nations. Perhaps there never was any hope. A country borne in conflict that embraced slavery and genocide. Frighteningly, maybe we're just humanity on steroids and it's full steam ahead to destruction.
Me? I'm weary of all the chest pounding, displays of pro forma mindless nationalism, and the anti-intellectualism that causes people to repudiate science and serve as willing hosts for a virus that need not have prospered in this land of the rich.
