The usual reaction does not occur when there is an overwhelming amount of one reactant. It appears as though nothing is happening. I think that each of the millions of occupants of this country has a brain that is individually meeting more threatening phenomena at once than it is equipped to handle with their everyday problem solving tools. People are doing what people normally do when overwhelmed en masse: milling around, turning pale, practicing denial. Anger will be coming. Mass anger at an amorphous betrayal by something out there. This might be an extra interesting year. It is like film noire to listen to the reports of the hint of improvement in the economy on this Blue Moon day. Not one report mentions that nothing has improved with respect to integrating our economic activity with the state of nature such that we will ensure civilization's survival. They don't go together on public radio yet. Nope, not even there. We are headed for a mass reaction, after this mass paralysis.
