And it needs to be called out as such.
And it needs to be called out as such.

www.rsn.org/001/apocalyp.... this fascinates me as I have found a calm come over me since election. Others have said the same. Why? If you fear the worst and the worst happens, does it neutralize the fear? Is it releasing resistance to what, in hindsight, may have been inevitable? Thoughts?
