Dancing on Bubbles

On March 22, 2005, I sent an email to CNN American Morning about the Terri Schiavo case. All the posturing was very sad and disgusting. So I wrote that "I do believe that the USA is going down the drain while a few people are dancing on the bubbles." As I watch the news each day, I think that this even better describes us today. There's a lot of partying, but not a lot of long-term confidence that things will get better. Perhaps we are re-living history. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to live in ancient Roman times. As Rome was declining, most people probably didn't even know it... Well, cheers. Let's party.
