This medium is of course ideal for nothing other than expressing one's passing observations -- for dialogue and debate beyond the sharing of a few impressions it is inferior to email or (especially) face-to-face.
Today I am not in the mood to debate things, honestly; my opinions and impressions are shifting today and I'm not sure where I'm going to wind up.
That said, your comments about "momentum" are cogent; I feel the power it has in my own life and am often loathe to acknowledge its influence (the implication being that I am less of a "free agent" in the face of it). The only hope of countering momentum is of course by exerting greater force in an opposite direction -- no easy task, especially when the 'momentum' in question is literally that of the 'powers and principalities' -- one might sooner change the wind by huffing and puffing against it.
Of course one must never forget the proverbial butterfly in Hong Kong, but I'll have to leave you on that note...
