I Am Flabbergasted

[b]I don’t know what’s going on in the world.[/b]

I’ve spent the better part of my working life as a photo-journalist specialising in certain parts of the Middle East but, despite what I witnessed, I could console myself with the knowledge that there were parts of the world where rationality and tolerance prevailed.

Now we have the likes of Putin in Moscow (Gorbachev’s ideals of glasnost and perestroika are long gone), Nigel Farage in the UK, Marine Le Pen in France, Geert Wilders in The Netherlands, Frauke Petry in Germany, and the front runner of far-right populist clap trap, Donald Trump in the White House.

Seriously, what the hell is happening to our world!

not too long ago, i would have argued that logic and rationality were the antidotes. that's what Obama tried to bring to the table. and we all know what happened there.......

Yes I'm not sure it is now....it might something eventually that mankind works through...or some sort of direction action will occur.
Have you read the fourth turning I think it is called?
