I just posted this as a comment on a friend’s blog. Then I decided I liked it enough to post it here.
I’m getting really tired of seeing things happen that, having read about them in the history books, I never thought I’d see. Like:
- I never thought I’d see a presidential impeachment. Then came Monica.
- I never thought I’d see a hung presidential election. Hello, 2000!
- On a more somber note, 9/11 came close to being the bloodiest day in American history. It didn’t quite beat our Antietam, but it sure looked close for a while.
- I remember Nixon - he’s the first president I do remember. I never thought I’d see someone challenge his badness as worst president in my lifetime. Surprise!
- Now we see what may well become the next Great Depression. I don’t think it will get quite that bad, but still.
Could we please just have a few years of calm? I’m tired of seeing hugely historical events every other year or so. All I want is a decade of peace and quiet - is that so much to ask?
Sigh.

If I did not know any better, I would have thought I read this somewhere else earlier today :-).
Glad I could be a source of inspiration for you (although I do not know if this falls in the category of inspiration, but I will take it)
