Will the American way of human life go on?

Of course we have always had a way of life.

Now do you, the reader, think we Americans are different, or just old world humans doing our bit in our new world? And of course the new world we think about from our experience is North America, but there are other Americans also doing their bit. Now they may have different histories, like Spanish, French, African, or even Asian, but by golly, they are Americans, too.

Somehow, I think we lucked out with our mostly British traditions that we have multiplied to our USA country. Now that is just an opinion, of course.

Now I also think we humans have more in common than not. Mostly, to me, it means promoting a better future for our children, and even grandchildren. Now some don’t think this, it seems I am learning.

So I am guessing our American way of human life will predominate in the end. Mostly, it is about our kids and their kids. The obvious extension is that we from an older generation will bite the bullet if we think it promotes our families in the long run. That is so simple and also so human.

The obvious distress these days is the amount of fellow Amerians out of work. For those living through all this, it is not fun.

Maybe also this terrible situation has precipitated many thoughts about what might be downrange given what our governments are doing. Can things get worse, maybe?

When do we bite the bullet, so to speak?
