The world did NOT go off its spinner.  Turmoil, trouble and conflicts surface everywhere as they always have.  However, this is not World War I where more than 17 million were killed and 20 million wounded. There's no Spanish Flu, where some 20  to 50 million  were killed. This not World War II where about 60 million people were killed, countless millions injured and millions displaced.  This not the great depression where huge swaths of the western world languished in poverty so deep that thousands died of Vitamin B deficiency. 

This is not the era of Soviet hegemony where USSR suffered 35 to 50  million "unnatural deaths" directly linked to Stalin's savage purges. Nor do we live under the heel of Mao Zedong who oversaw the genocide of ten's of millions of his own people.  

As if that's not enough good news,  the Canadian developed Ebola vaccine appears to work, almost perfectly.  That is even better news than library access ;)

Merry Christmas
