Was Equality

Okay, I think I've finally got it. There's an initial panic with mob rule and all laws in abeyance. Traces of this linger, but in general the Change lasts so long that the city starts to pull itself together. Leaders arise, committees are formed, neighborhood watches organize. No one sees this as the new permanent form, however; they're still waiting for the Change to end and things to go back to normal with new, god-chosen leaders. There's some evidence that the people in whom others have faith are more likely to be chosen, so folk start to rally their supporters. Recent social upsets have made the guild lords and the king the most vulnerable to being replaced. In short, I've come around to thinking of absolute equality as chaos, with the average person seeking either to become a leader or a follower, at least in this fictional society. Maybe in the real world as well?

Health wise, I finally saw a doctor about my fainting fit and she's going to put me on some sort of a 24 hour blood pressure monitor starting Monday. My pressure has always been on the low end of normal, which I thought was healthy. Too much of a good thing, maybe.
