"In times like these,
it helps to recall
that there have always been
times like these."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way"
Charles Dickens
"A Tale of Two Cities"
I remember that from high school and I bet your mother does too!
Yep I sure do! It's a very familiar passage. In fact, I just heard it quoted in the last two days as a commentary on the current election process ......
Funny that they would quote a description of the French Revolution, a time of great confusion and bloodshed. Luckily we are not that far gone.
