One of the biggest struggles of the past year has been the total impotence one feels when watching the vast majority of people and, consequently, the larger part of society itself completely lose their minds.
Damian, On a number of occasions you have kept me sane. It was, just today, muttering to myself something about that emperor.....that crazy and dimwitted and bizarre of all stories. It never troubled me as a child. I rather liked it....knowing that MY world that I lived in would never be so foolish. Perhaps it is because I feel this childhood faith in humanity being dashed and that is what I find to be the most painful. A world I thought I knew has become unrecognizable. And your image of a loved one slipping away as from dementia perfectly captures the sorrow I feel. PS- And do you look like Richard Dreyfuss, or just admire him as mush as I do?? thanks
Scary! Don’t remember that part. But that author had a grasp on human nature. NEVER understood how the Holocaust could have happened.... now I do! After this nightmare!

Thanks Kerry. I look like him only in this scene.

Wow! Gotcha!!
Brilliant!
I really enjoyed your article. @mamasaurusMeg
I endorse sombreros!
In the original story what happened to the boy who pointed out the Emperor had no clothes ? ...
The villages turned on him and killed him ...
