Just thinking.

Pay attention!
New crisis coming.
Is anyone aware?
Does anyone care?
Take a good look at what's going on around you.
This country is rapidly self-destructing from within...
as all superpowers preceding us seemed want to do.
We have not learned our lessons well.
The thunderous incompetence of our government
ahd their cohorts in the news media
do nothing to show their concern...
even if they are aware.
Instead they perpetuate and compound the problem.
Well...
it is high time
someone did something about this.

Apt and timely expressions, John. I have never been so pessimistic. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Don't worry John, Donald Trump will fix everything! At least his pompous words are saying so.

As I've noted many times before, by many measures, the world has been getting better every year in this century, including last year.

I think your concern is related to the speed with which new information is arriving on the scene as the shift from timeworn refereed news media to on the scene amateur journalists with blogs overloading the senses with instantaneous information worldwide.

I see it as wonderful, Marshall McLuhan's global village coming to pass. Like all old people with rapidy calcifing brains, you think the United States is declining. I think it's just blending in with the rest of the world. No longer pompously claiming to be better than everybody else… Except for Trump who keeps pumping up the volume.

I like Schwarzenegger better. After being governor of California, his tune has changed.

When listening to the news of the day one does become a bit disenchanted with the world and it's credibility!

You have started the cause. I feel little lone voices such as yours and mine (in years past) will be downed out because we are in the arena of getting "free" stuff. We are corrupted everywhere you look.
