From Glenn R. Geist at MadMikesAmerica:
If you could somehow harness the immeasurable power of the sea, one of those things that actually is awesome after decades of that word’s erosion, you could do anything, destroy almost anything.
The mindless, angry sea: too frequently, somewhere on Florida’s Atlantic coast some ill-prepared and overconfident soul disappears forever, paddling off from the beach or motoring out of or into an inlet – and of course the sea, in its season comes ashore to visit, leaving only devastation.
Mankind is like a sea, dumb, implacable, destructive, but far more controllable. When it’s idiot rage comes ashore, our flimsy constructs, like reason, truth, justice, and progress hardly stand a chance.
I got a message this morning. Someone had posted a vicious, poorly spelled but confident diatribe against Obama and pro-Trump on a friend’s page – extolling the great success of Trump’s economic boom and I replied to it.
