Actually it seemed to me that 2011 was a crap year for the planet,
considering how many hundred of thousands of persons died unnecessarily, got permanently maimed in demonstrations
or open warfare in the streets, or who became or remained mired in poverty, and in some places were struck down by famine.
Logically one might hope for a measure of relief in 2012, but of
course the farce of another national election, in which everyone gets to
express his/her own urgent vision of a utopian America that is structurally
doomed to failure, now hangs in January like a black cloud on the horizon.
Results from the Republican freak show in the Iowa state
caucus yesterday demonstrate the level of political intelligence abroad in the
land, and shows how much money and effort will be required to overcome it.
