THE GREAT DEPARTURE 2021  By Bernard Bujold - One can hope that Friday, January 1, 2021 will be the day of the "great departure" towards a new civilization. As William Shakespeare wrote in his play Julius Caesar: "There is a wave on the Ocean of Life, which one if it takes at the right time at the shore will take the ship to new lands full of hope and promises; but if it is broken it will be then failure and misery..."

But first we will have to grieve and then act.  The greates...
