“Renunciation of world politics offers no protection from its consequences.” — Oswald Spengler
(This was true nearly a hundred years ago, and even more-so today. Whereas once upon a time events in far off places were seemingly isolated and contained, today the ripple effects reach across the globe, in a relative blink of an eye. If but only for selfish reasons we all need to be engaged in world events. Saying: It doesn’t matter to me. doesn’t make it so. Be well, do good . . . and stay informed, friends.) — YUR
