For the last six years, on various web sites, I have been quoting the imprisoned and tortured Italian communist, Antonio Gramsci’s famous quote: “The old world is dying, the new world is waiting to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

However, Gramsci died before he saw the world get worse before it got better. Now, we have been waiting for a new world to again emerge, but I seem the old world, once again refuses to die. Things are not quite as bad as they were in the days of that movie, but it seems there are still people who would make it so if they had the chance.

Although it is certainly different for you, it feels as if we are all in this together. I hope we get to see the current wrongs diminish and disappear in our lifetime.
