Interesting Times

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
--The Cure

Claims that we're approaching a make-or-break moment in this country and perhaps the world seem to be getting louder. But our moment is not unique. The history of mankind can be seen as an ongoing struggle between freedom and force. The right to live free is opposed by human desire to benefit off the backs of others.

Freedom has been under fire since Day One. No generation has lived in times that weren't 'interesting' - where some did not seek to take freedom from others.

There is a name for the situation where freedom is no longer threatened by forceful intervention by others.

It is called heaven.
