Change is good
Let’s not talk about politics this week. It’s Christmas.
Let’s not talk about business, or technology, or global warming. Let’s talk about something fun and exciting.
Let’s talk about football.
The most important off-season in Atlanta sports history, the most important one in America’s soccer history, began December 8 with the sight of a sad coach losing a big game.
Kids are taught in history that Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War, and that Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa, was the turning point in World War II.
From July 4, 1863, the South never invaded the north again. From January 1943, the Nazis and Japanese never again had the initiative.
That’s not the way things were to the people living through these crises. While these events were celebrated, people knew better.
I believe it will be seen that November 6, 2018 represented a similar turning point in the crisis represented by Donald Trump, and the invasion of the West by Russia that is, even now, escalating in Europe and the Ukraine. But a turning point isn’t final victory. It doesn’t even mean victory is in sight.
