NY Times Opinion Piece… Cry or Laugh?
I haven’t seen a piece written like this before… ever.
While it was scary to read, at the same time it was very cleverly written. It could almost pass for a Bible verse, which makes it seem even more scary.
I seem to agree with almost everything in the article, but I’m unsure what role I personally played in bringing on the doom and gloom. I do drive a gas guzzler, and I did buy a house recently that probably bumped up the demand and prices around our area. Does this mean that I’m to blame as much as the government? And what else could I do to make things better?
We’ll just have to wait and see how the story ends.

One line really confused me.
“How can the weary, flogged ass bear honey and balm and almonds and myrrh?”
We can all take our share of responsibility, but I don’t think it’s too late to try to make a difference somehow. I think the people to worry about are the ones who we go out to dinner with and end up forcing me to kick you under the table. Maybe we have to work extra hard to balance it out.
