Great post.I ask myself the same question Aspen.
I just resent that everyone now is supposed ( by law) to hop-to and play nice when all the time the aggressors brought this upon us all...and started changing all the rules of how everyone must live.
Now we are the bad guys if don't pretend that all is well and the world is 'warm and fuzzy' toward one and all.
I cannot just drop my guard and pretend that everything is going to work out well. I can't. Because I don't think it will.
Well said!
