Will democracy's cause of death be "someone-ism"?

Someone should do something about all these mass shootings.

Someone should be sure that those who instigated, planned and financed the J6 insurrection die in prison.

Someone should confront and condemn all of those who spew poisonous hatred into our daily lives.

Someone needs to insist that schoolchildren be taught "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth".

Someone needs to reach out today to comfort and reassure someone whose religion or skin color or gender or love results in their being threatened and discriminated against.

We know the names of the "someones" who are bent on our destruction. Someone should do something.

Climate Change is happening right now and it appears too little, if anything, will be done in time to prevent the worst of it. So it's up to individuals to prepare as best they can for the coming new world .
