Focus on the bigger picture, use your individual strenghts to also help the country, like John Kennedy said in an other way, at the moment it needs all the help it can get, if you don't especially those with the grits, there'll be no country left to be an induvidual in, and I don't mean bombing others into submission, bomb your own that pervert democracy, and prevent the majority to participate, for lack of many common good denominators, such as education, health, and all the other common things etc etc.....
*Focus!* *The light at the end of a long journey,* *It will reward our work well done,* *Furthermore, will reward us every day,* *Tunnel vision for the moment,* *After much work and carving,* *At the far and distant end, a common view it will foment,* *Tunnelling and focusing at the important point,* *Keep the aim consistent,* *At the end, we, with success anoint,* *If only at the beginning after all divisions,* *We could come together,* *Forget the minor things and all derision,* *Forget our own importance and our ego,* *Coalesce instead, that power struggle into one,* *See the higher purpose, get things done,* *Individuality is all good and fine,* *However, it should also contribute to the total,* *Like every grape that makes good wine,* *Individuality will go out the door,* *Should it be misused, for selfish reasons?* *That is what our enemies will explore,* *No individuality allowed by a Caesars reign,* *Not needed in his scheme,* *No democracy will he acclaim,* *Insects like the bee, already know by instinct,* *That in the long run albeit themselves distinct,* *For their home and hive, they work, or else they are extinct.*

I agree with you, America has been converted in people burrowing a long tunnel in search of the light at the end of it not knowing that Sara Palin is sitting on the switch turned to OFF.
Good luck America, or coming January God help you if you make the wrong choice, again!

Excellant points made, in this world of everyone for themselves it is now time to give unity a chance again.
