I started this out writing about what a Kafkaesque drama was playing out before our eyes. As I went on, I realized I had whipped myself up into a Jeremiad, which was much the stuff of earlier years. I no longer feel that way, so... why express it? I am now convinced of something and there is no further cause to jump at shadows. People with specific agendas WILL meet specific ends. I can't jump in front of them and start shouting that they are going the wrong way, much as it might save them some measure of suffering. You CANNOT tell people what to do. You make them miserable, and you make yourself miserable too.

Somehow these things must be talked about but from a calmer and more serene mind. The action gets so charged that people actually believe they are in charge of something but they cannot even control themselves. People forget (and get reminded) that God is not mocked. God is the real power, and I don't care what the neighborhood is. God walks right through and does whatever he is of a mind to and never breaks any china. He doesn't have to.
