As tears flow and words elude me, I realize we're here again. And again, no one seems to care, at least not the masses that care about everything and everyone else.
On June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, Gen. Gordon Granger read General Order No. 3, which proclaimed: "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer."
I wonder if there has ever been a generation of human folk who did not feel, as adults, that the world generally, and their particular society especially, is in decline.
