Arrow "The Unraveling of America"

.
A recent timely article from RollingStone, written by a Canadian Anthropologist ➡ https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...davis-1038206/

One of a number of good quotes from the article:
"Those who flock to beaches, bars, and political rallies, putting their fellow citizens at risk, are not exercising freedom; they are displaying, as one commentator has noted, the weakness of a people who lack both the stoicism to endure the pandemic and the fortitude to defeat it."

I for one, hope the author is wrong ... and they won't continue to 'Unravel'. But having lived down there for 12+ years in my younger days, I don't think the USofA has been so divided, and in such disarray & polarised, since the days of the Vietnam War.

And it continues to get worse ... Sad.
