And part of me is starting to feel Very Very Afraid. Because I'm wondering what trend in the world this is symptomatic of. It's like the world has been completely weird since 9/11, and everyone is wanting me to try to make it better---and I can only hand-hold a bit. And I'm seeing shadows that are starting to scare the crap out of even "Little Miss I Can Come Through Anything." The economy is the biggest one. Especially now with long shadows of war being cast by the sabre-rattling idiot in the White House. I can't take care of everyone. Even if I'm doing okay, it scares me that I might be overwhelmed beyond my skills, if things get a lot worse. I'm only one person, and I'm the only thing standing between the darkness and the light for a lot of people... And then there is this loss of rights and freedoms thing, which is scaring me in a very viceral way. Terrorists, no problem. We all go, sometime. Police states, on the other hand, scare the holy crap out of me.
