General Discussion

We as a society do not gather socially anymore. There always has to be a reason to do so. We don't just all go sit in the shade in the town square in the late evening and chat while the kids play.

We don't do this because the powers in the country don't want us gathering and talking. They don't want us trying to discuss things and trying to learn about other people and their lives. They wanted us at each other's throats.

And, for all intents and purposes, they got what they wanted. I cannot walk down the street these days without noticing that I am the only person with his head held up, looking forward and attempting to meet other's gaze. I say attempting, because no one here will look at another person while they are anywhere near another person. It is very concerning. No one around here will do this.

It has now become 'cool' to be as anti-social as possible.

Which bodes so well for our stated goal of being 'We, the people...'.
