While true, Melissa, if there is one thing geological time reminds us of, is not to get too upset by the present moment. We’ve had 9/11, the financial crises of 208 and 2001, the threat of nuclear war before that - and 2 world wars in the last century. Ya, sure - it’s bad that we have to compare today to the worst of the past 100 years. But our moment in time is sure not the worst.
