I wouldn't call it isolation or alienation. It's more subtle. Life is based on risk and numbers, but no one seems to care. Deeper truth behind the headlines? No one has a clue. Though that's unfair because many here on DU do know most of what's happening. But I feel I can't do much about it, even if there were days of discussion and planning. So onward I trudge.

Always enjoy your posts!
