'Tis the season of gratitude, generosity, and good cheer. For all its myriad of flaws and inconsistencies, we live in a country and part of the world that offers an unprecedented level of security, opportunity, and privilege. It is safe to say that in terms of overall quality of life, we (particularly those of us on this distribution list) have the good fortune to be within the 99.9 percentile of the human experience ... not just in terms of the current global population ... but in terms of the entire sociocultural evolution of our species. While we continue to critique, challenge, and actively disrupt those aspects of our system that are in need of ongoing attention, let us also take a moment to humbly recognize that our lives are blessed with a disproportionate and unprecedented level of well being, and reflect on how we can generously share this karmic windfall in the proper spirit of the season. Now, that is something for which it is worth taking a moment to be grateful ... and the Haberdashery is happy to oblige!
