[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— I yearn for a rebirth of these United States. ——

I don’t forsee a hot civil war, but I’m afraid of a 100 year trough, like in Argentina. The loss of prosperity is one thing, but it’s the waste of human potential that saddens me the most.

[Revolting cat!]

I foresee a lot of brave talk, and an entirely peaceful descent into our version of Peronism, from which there is no return despite all the misery it brings. As you said, Argentina. The parallels are all there before our eyes.
