And so it goes (again)

For anyone who doesn't know. And so it goes is a line used to much effect in Vonnegut's book, Slaughterhouse Five. A book that everyone should read at least once. It's short and to the point, though a little on the depressing side. But, IMHO, all good books are a little depressing. For my readers, I just sent out a short story via email. If you didn't receive it, just email me (nlowhim [at] gmail [dot] com) and I'll send one out to you. Better if you sign up (to the left) to make sure you don't miss out on future stories (which won't be available elsewhere).
As far as my future books, one will be done soon, but it will be editing that shall take even longer. And for the end of the When Gods Fail series, which will be at least several months away (end of the year is still tentative, I'm afraid), is also in the initial phase of being written.
Now, for thoughts on current events (and the "And so it goes" sentiment)

If you destroy and build nothing, then there's no place for you in the world. How true. For those who build will always win. How true again. So if you bomb a wedding, you need to build universities that house lawyers who can say it's okay to bomb that wedding. Or if you destroy souls via torture, make damn sure you have the lawyers for that righteousness when people find you've been torturing prisoners. The world seems so much clearer, doesn't it?[1]
And that might doesn't make right any more, is surely a relief for all of us. This means that those who can push the weak will not do so anymore. This means, of course, that an international court for war criminals will be accepted by President Obama and they will not try to except themselves from its purview. Never. That would be might making right. Nor would they do the same for their staunch ally in the region. No, when you shoot down a plane you can never get away with not allowing an investigation and with never apologizing.
So feel safe my fellow world citizens, the world is getting better by the moment. Celebrate and be joyous.  

[1]This isn't just America. Think about the land where iphones are being built and how they make the world a better place and how the monks in Tibet are so happy with all the building that they're burning themselves with joy (I think this is the official Chinese position).
