The "institutions" that our society has relied on for peace and order are failing at an alarming rate. Putting this Humpty Dumpty back together again will be pretty much impossible.I do trust America's youth to build on the framework to keep a civil structure as they deal with a collapsing climate.

for one.

They want to go back to the "good old days" when you had to be rich, white and male in order to have full citizenship.

An enlightened society is a threat to all that.

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
