What to do when all the institutions fail:

Recently we have been following the news about the Ukraine, where all the country in the Eastern section has been in civil war...and only once a week, when the guys put their Kalishnakofs on their shoulders and go to Church, does the gunfire ratchet down a bit...pretty alarming picture..

But back here, we have been in the midst of a more subtle disintegration....the destruction of all the major institutions of our country...the press, the politics, the organized religions, the local governments, not to mention health care and the infrastructure of our roads and trains, or whatever is left of them...You can always tell that religion might be in trouble when there is a canonization of a pope that protected the abusers in Rome...nice....
