When there's a world in crisis, look to the charismatic figure for salvation! So we are taught.
But where was the modern Joan of Arc; the Billy Graham; the George Washington?
When Trump negated interest in the day-to-day fight against the virus, I thought that man--our savior-- would emerge from among the state governors. One of them would call all the governors together and tell his plan to enforce emergency measures on us all. But they--each of them--were too busy trying to get supplies and machines for their several states. No one would stand tall. There is a fire consuming the nation; and no one would shout out, "Save yourself and your loved ones!"
And so we stumble around each other, moaning, "Well, if it gets me, then I guess my time is up!"
