Easter at 7H, so the lilies think this morning.

For all the stuff, it's still my weblog, at least until Blogger cuts me off. And for all TGBC and my comments, the usual +Time chatter continues to mix in, sometimes, as today, political or demographic, a link to an article that says it precisely, calling it "existential anxiety" and a portrait of the term:

We are where we are because we are afraid; afraid of what we see, afraid that what we did to others in creating our society is now being done to us, as indeed it is. 

Everyone fears being the powerless bottom of the barrel, especially who are already there, unable to have seen, ἴδωσιν Mark 9:1, ὁράω - - to see, perceive, realize, understand - - that it has come with power. The slogan is to be Great Again, "Great" as in When we comfortably knew there were those beneath us and whom we outnumbered and could keep on the margins: Negro, Jew, Muslim, Asian, Irish, Italian, Pole, Catholic, immigrant, outsider, different, white, yellow, black, brown, educated, religious Other, Hispanic; hated and feared because they grow and threaten. Flying its flag, human nature fears and therefore hates.  

TGBC separate today.
