A Revolution

We're living through a revolution. And nobody has any idea what to do. So we carry on with our everyday routines, the commutes to work, the school drop-offs, the soccer games on the weekend. What else is one to do? We are in uncharted waters here. I drive to my part-time gig and as I drive down the much-diminished (thank God!) traffic on I-95, I think to myself: "This is what a revolution looks like, this is what a revolution looks like." It looks like empty retail space, less inventory in the stores, fewer cars on the highways. Social peace hangs by the thin thread of cheap gasoline prices. If that thread breaks this summer (or, worse, this winter), what will happen?
