Report from the field:
One of the humbling things about being in a place like Merida is you realize just how much effort people spend in the US to defend and entrench and how much effort people here spend to live in harmony. My interaction with local folks here is having the effect of drawing from my corpus the deep frustration with people in the US who do not care one iota about the common person with legitimate needs.
It is time to shift away from the echo chambers of entrenched positions and settle into living in harmony with nature and people. I can not tell you how refreshing it is to not hear non-stop judgmental rantings. I realize more and more each day that the US is like the super collider: there are individual molecules of liberals, racists, tea-partyers, democrats, homeless, religious fanatics, greedy capitalist, poor, dedicated teachers, essential librarians, selfish pricks, ego maniacs, etc. moving in separate orbits at various speeds within a vacuum chamber. When two of these molecules meet they do so at such high speeds of rhetorical introversion that the result is not a new, meaningful molecule of tolerance and mutual respect but the destruction of each.
The US is reaching a crescendo of chaotic disintegration.
