"The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world or a relationship. Everything has its time. And everything ends." ~ Sarah Jane Smith, Doctor Who School Reunion
Sorry for the kind of depressing quote. Just thinking about our country. More than even during the horrific Bush years (when I started blogging) I believe we are witnessing the decline and fall of the United States, and it saddens me to see what we've become.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity." ~ William Butler Yeats
