Hi all,

With the recent news I’m reminded of the following passages from RMP:

"

Americans like to talk about all their freedom but they think it's disconnected from something Europeans often see in America: the degeneracy that goes with the Dynamic.

It seems as though a society that is intolerant of all forms of degeneracy shuts off its own Dynamic growth and becomes static. But a society that tolerates all forms of degeneracy degenerates. Either direction can be dangerous. The mechanisms by which a balanced society grows and does not degenerate are difficult, if not impossible, to define.



And..

"

New York's never been committed to any preservation of its static patterns. It's always ready to change. Whether you are or not. That is what creates its horror and that is what creates its power. Its strength is its looseness. It's the freedom to be so awful that gives it the freedom to be so good.



Here’s hoping the US is open and willing to undergo further changes in four more years.

Dave,
Whichever side of the fence you're on, it does restore faith in the election process.
That even the most unpopular unlikely candidate can be voted into office.

Power to the people

Even if they are idiots
