I used to say I'm watching the downfall of civilization from a mountaintop on my laptop as a kind of poetic metaphor. 

Now it's really happening.

If the Vatican had responded with Justice to the hundreds of thousands of adults who were raped as children by their priests, the Whole World would be heading in a different direction now. The Catholic Church as global moral leaders had a chance to set an example, and instead they covered their asses and spit on the victims. Worldwide, the whole system of justice and Humane Treatment of Humans took a different direction from that point on. 
And now we have Trump. 
good night
