Thank you, you have given me a very necessary headache. Monstrous difficulties are at our stoop, indeed we need to climb up the steps and declare that some entrapments and willful disregard to rights to half our population will not stand. Nor can the challenges of the fight on the cusp of the event horizon extinguish hope and optimism before we have engaged with our adversaries. The interplay of metropolitans' comparative perspective should be instructive as to how different cultures and communities respond at different times. American exceptionalism is on the ropes except it is about a bout within the ring of normal democratic clashes or a vision authoritarian bullying. (my daughter living as an expat in Zurich for 11 years forwarded the piece to. Thanks, Lon Davis)
