My suggestion is you take a long walk, have a cappuccino and say hi to your neighbors, pat a dog, call a friend.I think we are. This country is on a downward slide, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
The division is so bad now, I don't think we will ever come together again. Perhaps we need to stop worrying about changing the country and start managing the fall.
We are nearly to the point of civil war. All it will take is the right catalyst to start.
This country is not like it was 10 years ago. Obama's pledge to radically transform the country did indeed happen, perhaps not in the way he envisioned, but we are changed.
We are vicious, divided, hate filled people. I just think this country is done. Her best days gone.
They say history repeats itself, and most empires don't last. I think our empire has run its course. It's only a matter if time before we destroy ourselves from within, or another country invades and takes us over.
It's only as bad as you say if you get twisted around in social media platforms like this one or listening to politi-pump "news" stations like CNN or FOX.
Locally of course humans will always be human, so you can find normal individuals.
But that really is not the point, when it comes to what we support with out tax dollars.
It was pretty clear with Vietnam we were totally on the wrong side, and still continued to waste billions of dollars and tens of a million lives, (US and Vietnamese).
And it has only gotten much worse, with the attempted illegal invasions or regime changes in Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Palestine, Libya, Syria, etc.
We don't even have even the minimum of health care the rest of the world has.
And the highest % imprisoned in the whole world.
Probably near to the worst country on the whole planet.
