Dr. G,
It’s been a while G. But I have seen it before since I was born in the early 1950’s.
Nothing like this double whammy though (unless you include the occupant in the What Me Worry? House).
It seems to me that there is an interesting “shakeout” among the various ages (and educated) variants of today’s SClaritans…and others locations as well.
The two big earthquakes in my life (’71 and ’94) had a certain amount of the same “WTF?” effect, although they were much quicker to be abated (except for rebuilding homes and freeway overpasses). And for the fact that they were nearly singular causes that allowed for a respite as things returned to nearly normal fairly quickly (except for trying to drive to LA – in less than 2 hours).
The uncertainty in so many places (both physical and mental/emotional) that continues is affecting all of us, no matter how we voted in the last few years.
Protest marches are old hat for those of us who lived in the LA area back in the day, regardless of which side we chose to be a part of.
9/11/2001 was another “test” of us and our citizenship – but our focus was on threats from without the USA, more or less.
Today, Pogo’s most enlightened and still true focus on our inherent problems as a People and Nation are still true:
“We have met the Enemy; and he is us.”
