I now use the word evil often. I used to think it was an overused word that became trite in that overuse. I used to use it sparingly.

But now - it has found a stronghold in our world.

I am not willing to feel comfortable in this state of societal evolution in which we find ourselves.

I look toward civility, wherever we can find it. I may not live long enough to see us return to a semblance of a civilized civilization, but I will do what I can to take us on that path.
