What happens in the US is happening in the EU, too, so I think the phenomenon has to be analyzed in a holistic, more exhaustive, rather than local way: otherwise one may come to the English conclusion that when there is fog on the Channel, the Continent is isolated. I'm right now reading Victor Davis Hanson's "The Soul of Battle", a striking book; pity that History did not prize all his three heroes, that is Epaminondas, Gen. Sherman and Gen. Patton, who fought soul battles; but Historians still prize Alexander the Macedon, instead, a soul-less, bloody genocidal. There are lessons to be learned, in this. Thinking holisitically, or globally, is not easy, we are still not accustomed to that: it seems that we still think in terms of Hercules' Pillars, where the World was believed to end. And it may even be more so, the Planet Earth has no unending resources, and all too many Corporates are soul-less doing their best to waste them down. A solution? I look back to Aldous Huxley's 1939 novel "After Many a Summer Dies the Swan": he seems to echo Cincinnatus to me. When the big events are over, and by big event I also mean redundant, or over-production, let's turn back to our own little home-field, and grow the vegetables, the fruit, the animals that we need for living. Workers-based GNP is a true sign of a Nation's good health. Thank you.
