Michael,

I think that we have not lost our way, this is media hype, because they know we will tune in to that!  I see all kinds of great stuff, and if we all focused on that, we would once again see our greatness.  If this is such a hellhole why is everyone trying there damnest to move here?  A

I think a lot of the youth have lost their way, work ethic and common sense.  I think the older generations failed to instill that in them by championing "participation trophies" and "everyone's a winner" mentality.  In my book, "time outs" over arse whoopings also lead to this too.  We over corrected too much and now we have the kids like the arizona student who threw a tantrum and got violent against someone holding a religious sign on campus.  Or now grief counsellors get called in to console students traumatized by pro-trump chalk writings showing up on campuses.

 

These kids need a healthy dose of John Wayne!

I think that Americans are tired of their government being bought and paid for by the biggest corporations and industries.  I don't think it's an identity crisis so much as a legitimate governmental break down that our country is beginning to wake up and face.

I think America needs to spend a month on vacation in Europe, I always come back with a great reminder of priorities and how to suck the nectar out of life when I visit my family origins: Italy, Ireland, France & England.

But, Trump wants to build a wall to keep people out, not in, which tells you something. I mean they building rafts and digging tunnels to leave America.

We still have it really good here!

No, the media is manipulating everything form what they want you to hear, see and think. The media has given us this election mess. Socialism is not the answer. The divider and chief is not the answer. The answer is in the hearts and souls of the people who make this country great, and they need to be louder than the negatves and dividers.

We grow and change and sometimes that process is very messy. In many ways we are in an imbalance now and some unattractive traits are surfacing in our populous. Over time we will shape into the next phase of our American Journey, possibly wiser and potentially superbly positioned to be a dynamic economic and social force through the next century.
