We have seen how the Left in the US now has Antifa thugs, while there have been right-wing thugs around for decades. But more than that, the political rhetoric and extremism on both the Left and the Right have dialed up considerably in the last 3 years, and, if anything, the media has abetted, if not stoked, this combustion.
Which raises the question, could there be another civil war breaking out in the US, that is, with a widespread breakdown of law and order, perhaps even with breakaway states like sanctuary California declaring their independence?
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
