Madness, Badness and Destructiveness

She went mad, then she became bad and now she is destructive.


"America is the Super Power of the
world. We are the superior people of the world. Everybody want to come to America."
How many lies can we believe before we wake up and come to our senses?
Unfortunately many Americans espouse this rhetoric that comes from self-conceited and degenerate minds.
As a nation our madness has turned into badness. We are bad! Nobody had better mess with America or Americans!
We will act preemptively, unilaterally and militarily at will.
Our badness has turned into destructiveness. We have exploited other people, extended poverty and human misery and caused, directly or indirectly, deaths of a number I shall not guess.
This writer would like to believe that only our leaders and controllers are supportive of the jingoistic, hegemonic and militaristic pursuit that defines the state of our national mentality. However, there is a preponderance of evidence which indicates that the majority of Americans subscribe to this view which is characterized by madness, badness and destuctiveness that, respectively, are the thesis, antithesis and synthesis of the American mystique.
Although the history of America is replete with syndrome-based behavorial acts of madness, badness and destructiveness, in recent years, particularly beginning with the twenty-first century, we have become madder, badder and more destructive, to ourselves and others.
Can those Americans who are of a kinder and gentler ilk, a remanent and silent minority, whose voices have been silenced by the controllers, like the phoenix rise from their ashes and the ashes of those who died prematurely from maltreatment by the system prevent America from experiencing a similar fate to that of the Roman Empire? Answer. How soon is too late?
