From a blogger I read religiously, Jesses of Jesse's Cafe Americain
"Each person sees great peril and challenges in their own time. This is obviously clear from reading history. I have lived a bit over 60 years, and grew up in a period of time where we legitimately feared mass obliteration. My own parents and relatives grew up desperately poor in the Great Depression, and then went off as young people to fight overseas in terrible wars. And we think it is worse now? Only if we think like children who know nothing but their own fears and needs of the moment."
After the histrionics coming out of DC, the news media, and the internet over the past couple of years this was a refreshing dose of calm.
