Last year my then 93 year old uncle was wearing a cap with "The future's looking bright" written on it. He had a truckload of wood chip he was shoveling for various purposes. He'll be 95 in September. The future is a very weird place. Its GPS coordinates are somewhere between good and evil. Whether you think you can or can't turn the future into a particular present, you are probably right. I don't mean in a silly Pollyanna power of positive thinking cliche quoting.new year resolution way. Free will is imprisoned somewhere between the theological and teleological but flashes of transcendence do happen. Then a ghost of mortality arrives from out of the blue and a 4 foot putt becomes impossible. Going from cliche to actually being positive seems less like a choice than attaining a state of grace. Having 10,000 atomic bombs on hair trigger alert is MAD. I'm not sure where exactly Armageddon is in GPS but it's amidst the Syrian carnage somewhere. Americans seem determined to have ISIS and equivalents take over Syria. Russia, Iran are stopping that. With 200 dead Russians and top brass Americans threatening more, it's understandable that Putin points out where USA is leading the world. Mqurice
