Just in reading this thread, I see an America where everyone favors their own interests and views over what would work for everyone.
Baz Knows better than to post this here, yet he does anyway, and the seagulls come flocking...
It's always someone else who has to improve. As for me, well, let's just leave well enough alone...
When it comes to the addict, the dysfunctional or the obsessed, there is never a desire to change until one is driven to his knees. And even in dysfunctional relationships, the nuclear group will band together to fend off those who would intervene to improve the situation.
Well, America has become a dysfunctional social unit. Not some of it, but All of it, as a whole. We will change only when changing becomes less painful than staying the same. For many years now, we have stayed the same, in a gridlocked dysfunctional failure to move forward. This has benefited some, but I see no great calling toward greatness, but rather a crass movement toward self aggrandizement.
Will we be brought to our knees before we again hear the call to greatness, or will we find that it is a sustainable future that favors our planet and our future , perhaps though at a time when it will not be so easy to achieve ?
Well, if we wait to hit bottom, it may come in a way that many here will find hard to fathom and impossible to come to terms with. Indeed, it may be happening already.
But hey, I've got mine. SO laugh it up and keep pointing the finger at others...
