She's the dearest thing in our life, and in that sense she makes this all a little easier to deal with; she's something overwhelmingly bright and real in an increasingly dark and surreal world. But I fear terribly for her future, not so much as potential cannon fodder (although that's always a concern) but just that I think we're in for a long, long apocalyptic stretch. Forget about piddling regime change, I'm talking about the fall of an empire ... ours. I don't think I'm being overly dramatic; it happens to all empires and it's the height of hubris to think it can't happen to ours. -Fred
