DoY 147.    (27 May 2021)

Who is us?

Us is amazing!  Us is mean as hell, and us is so generous we would flabbergast any alien that chose to land among us.  Oh, us wouldn't necessarily be generous with the alien, but we might be.  I posit that the same woman who kicks a homeless woman downtown goes home and bakes cookies for her kids and wears the nightgown that is her husband's favorite.  The same preacher who makes life nearly intolerable for his sons is adored by his congregation for his sympathy and thoughtfulness.  Us is magnanimous and warlike, torturing and gentle, loving and vicious.  Well, what the hell.  It's gotten us here and now when a lot of species didn't make it.
