We are witnessing the end of multiple epochs.  The world of our parents and our childhood is no more.  Never has the dire description of current events attributed to Antonio Gramsci seemed more apt.  "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters."[1]  Sadly, my country, the United States of America has become such a monster, foolishly dismembering the world order it originally sponsored.
