All things go.
Season of chaos.
Season of discord.
Season of confusion.
Season of bureaucracy.
Season of aftermath.
In this last season we might find ourselves here in America del Norte, wherein the brothers What Can I do, What we did yesterday, and his ugly and vicious sister Get Them Before They Get Us somehow try to relate to each other and everyone else of course.
Advances in technology and science might lead to a so called better life, but the age old question of sustainability (and collapse and fall of those who fail to do so) remains and consequently NIMBY (not in my backyard) is often the answer to this question. In other words, advancement and constant growth is fine, forget about it, just take the extra necessary materials from the other.
For once we have more or less established our dominance, what else is there to do? Wait and maintain forever? Would those die-hard Americans really want to live life after life in the same country with the same empire and lifestyle, assuming reincarnation? Aren't things more beautiful when they pass and never return, or simply change form?
Once we remember just how wonderful it can be to really live and let die, without country, without a state, without schedules, will we simply yearn to return to stability and modernity again? Are we forever stuck in regression?
