Is that just since Covid for you Dan? Or long-term? Panic attacks in grocery stores has been a common problem for anyone with a tendency toward panic attacks for a few reasons, no natural light, limited singular point of exit/entry only and too much sensory input all contribute.

I'd agree any other time. Right now, most eyes are on us, and many a nation's leaders have been making statements including allies and enemies alike.
No celebrations today. It ain't over 'til it's really over and I'm not sure how we'll be able to know when that will be. January 20th is a date, not an end of racism, willfull ignorance, violence for the sake of violence, rage and hate born of fear and denial.

In retrospect it might have saved a lot of lives and preserved dignity in office. But forward we go.
That works! He also could have socially engineered a means to take hold of presidential office but did not. I'm no fan, but credit where due.
Vice President Mike Pence deserves some kind of acknowledgment for staying an awful course and then with dignity and composure announcing Harris, his direct oponent, as Vice President elect. Sleeper Surprise Award? Strangest VP role . . . ever?

January 6 protestors who cite 1st ammendment cannot stand. Citation of this by anyone involved in yesterday's (and many other) events as a defense was rendered false the moment "peacable" assembly is defied.
Violent assembly, breach of Federal buildings and hate speech ar crimes.
PA challenge REJECTED by house and Senate. More counting will not change the truth as Mike Pence announces that the electoral college despite some more states to count has by a significant margin acknowledges Biden/Harris as next President and VP of the United States of America.

I'd suggest that every is most every. True psychopathy is a possible exception, and a rare one, but there it is. An individual with no empathy? Nature/nurture? It's an edge that bears thought IMO.
That was last week. Oh how fast we forget about walls, dead Mexican children, Jewish elders, anyone - everyone who has died or been harmed from hate in a nation that was growing to embrace and understand the value of multiculturalism.
Perhaps at large, but a bullet pierced a woman's heart and a breach into our legislative branches, an unimaginable and defenseless act, is a stain nothing will remove except the lies we tell about the lies we tell. :(
I'm always uncomfortable. My own ups and downs always have been attached to humanity's ups and downs. It's now described as "hyperempathy" but onr of my Mom's nicknames for me? Little Miss Sensitivity.
