November 25: First Quarter of the 21st Century

The first quarter of the 21st century

is nearing its end, and the reviews

so far, honestly, are not that great.

It’s been a good period for violence

and corruption and bigoted fearmongering

but a bad time for peace, prosperity

and justice for all. Perhaps the second act

will bring unexpected plot upturns or even

a little desperately needed deus ex machina.
