Why the vulnerability? After all, this is the 21st century, not a more primitive past when little in life was assured. Surely people know how to fix problems now.

Maybe. And maybe this is what the 21st century will be about — a great unraveling of some things long taken for granted.

The easy days are over. We are all a bunch of lazy softies who are used to borrowing on future generations. Everyone is looking at everyone else to solve the problems. We need leadership, something we haven't had for 8 years. Maybe we will get some in the future, maybe not.

Living like a god is probably a very insecure life.

You're always asking yourself: "Am I REALLY a god, or do I just THINK I'm a god?"

You sit around making yourself mentally ill musing over such things while the ancient decomposed plant matter bathes you in luxury.

A ride like that is going to be hard for people to get off of.
