Any and all ersatz attempts at achieving purity are doomed to fail-and many do so when at the seeming pinnacle of their "success". Many of us in the U.S. may lose everything we own to the oligarchs, only to survive, like the wretched ones of Alfama, in 1755, as those same oligarchs find themselves facing the wrath of the Divine.
Well written Val. I learned a thing or two. Have a beautiful time in Portugal!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hopefully, things won't get to that...
