EXCUSE ME, but sometimes the fragility of life brings us closer to our creator while estranging us from the cruel reality of life at hand !  I do not comprehend the recent reactions of our nation to currently impending real life tragedies.  How the times have  radically changed !  I fear that Lady Godiva would encounter absolutely no reaction if her infamous ride were reenacted today in New York or Washington, DC, although perhaps she would get a streamer on E linking her to a candy manufacturer which says a great deal about present worldwide educational standards and the professorial elect class !!  Wow, another mouthful ! What has happened to the old adage, “to thine ownself be true” ?  Why have we now distorted traditional ethics ?  Wherefore hast integrity escaped us ?  Is this the new Dark Ages ?  Questions, questions, are we partner to appeasement ?  What is the purpose of a disengaged world organization that spends trillions of dollars and claims climate change is the enemy ?  Oh sad the stranger in the dark, but sadder still the soul that cannot recognise the Handwriting on the wall !  A man once said,” Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani  ?” that is “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me ?”  Do we have an answer ?         Sincerely,       Claire B.
