40. Even evolution works in quantum jumps.

I was listening to something this week regarding evolution, and I was hearing my thoughts on this election, as i read it.

Today i listened to a great history of how we went from the socialists and communists having political clout in America, from the 1800's right up until the death of FDR around 1945, at which time the dismantling of the New Deal began.

So what I've learned is that Bernie's campaign is simply trying to bring us back to what once was normal American politics.

It keeps coming back to me over and over that this election is like trying to sober a drunk who doesn't see his situation as problematic.

The bottom line is climate change. But the trouble is, if we don't take action immediately, and wait until we see more serious symptoms, it will be too late. It's already too late, but we don't care about millions who live in poverty. Like Bangladesh. Originally we were to keep temperatures from rising 1.5C, in order to save the suffering of millions. But it was too inconvenient, and they bumped it to 2C. Already, we're backing away from the inconvenient truth.

We have literally devolved as a nation, since the last days of FDR. But like many diseases, we didn't feel it happening, and can't see it as it is now.

I'm somewhat frustrated, as I thought if one presented logical arguments, results would follow. That isn't happening, from what I see.

All I can think of is the last words in Bridge On The River Kwai. "Madness".
