It struck me a couple of days ago how many things have ended. I mean, there have been a lot of bright people making these claims. It's not like Joe Shit, the rag man and his cronies down at the Dingy Bar & Grill have been talking this up. OK, I did overhear at the local McDonald's the other morning that it was time to stop something or other, but those guys didn't think anything oughta end. Sure, they wanted the government out of their lives, but as long as they kept the social security checks coming, just how bad could they be?
That's part of the problem, I think. Everybody wants something to stop, but whatever it is, it shouldn't be theirs. Well, there are some things that, while they may not have absolutely come to an end, are really close to just going away. On the other hand, when we hear about "ends", we think about what's going away, but that's only one of the meanings, isn't it?
Ends are what means lead to, aren't they? And when that's the case, you can go back and read the posting from last time, and it's a whole different thing. Of course, you have to add the question marks yourself and decide where we should be heading.
