Small Wars Are Always Teetering

In Our Rich Consumers' Civilization We Spin Cocoons Around Ourselves And Get Possessed By Our Possessions.

We All Run On Two Clocks. One Is The Outside Clock, Which Ticks Away Our Decades And Brings Us Ceaselessly To The Dry Season. The Other Is The Inside Clock, Where You Are Your Own Timekeeper And Determine Your Own Chronology, Your Own Internal Weather And Your Own Rate Of Living. Sometimes The Inner Clock Runs Itself Out Long Before The Outer One, And You See A Dead Man Going Through The Motions Of Living.

Of The Many Things We Have Done To Democracy In The Past, The Worst Has Been The Indignity Of Taking It For Granted.

It Is Almost As Easy To Be Enervated By Triumph As By Defeat.
