I will turn 72 at the end of this month and I really don't think

88. Thank you for your response, MIButterfly!

I have to say that I agree with what Warpy said above, that essentially, we won't get it back the way it was. But do we really want it back the way it was? There were flaws that allowed this to happen, so I dont think I want it back the way it was. It reminds me of the Biden slogan, "Build Back Better." That's what I envision.

Maybe it had to be broken in order to be made better? Maybe these difficult days are a catalyst toward rebuilding a better, stronger nation. My daughter tells me this is what she sees, too, and that this is what she believes her generation and younger will do. In that, I find hope. And purpose. I see our generation's job as forming a foundation they can stand on. Resist. Survive. Rebuild. I believe we can do this.

I said more than I intended to in this reply! Apologies for that. Thank you for reading.
