Today I offer a tad bit of wisdom to inspire the weary hearted concerning this country's current polarity.

"Some great decorum, some fetish of a government, some ephemeral trade, or war, or man, is cried up by half of mankind and cried down by the other half, as if all depended on the particular up or down."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson 1836

And so as it's been said in every generation's tongue since the sun was summoned to shine: be not fretful of these brutish affairs of the day. They more folly than the worthy soul need attend.
