So, if I've been something of a, well, obnoxious, edgy, curmudgeon as of late. It would be somewhat disingenuous to apologize immediately. I'll get over it and hope you all will too.
In the early days of mass digital communication someone made the prophetic comment ...
Remember the human
Anticipating by decades the insulation between human beings connected by twisted pair this prophet knew that eventually folks would begin to say and do things in this new, divorced from personal contact medium, that they would never dream of doing face to face.
We are resigned to being human. Imperfect, creative, destructive, brilliant and imaginative. For all our failings as individuals we are the only hope we have.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
