We should fear for our future when so many of our own don't care.

 Excuses won’t work anymore,
Quickly we’re running out of time;
Take a stand for your country now,
Anything less should be a crime.

“Ask not what your country can do for you,
Ask what you can do for your country;”
Some of the wisest words ever said,
Folks, they were meant for you and me.

If we don’t all stand together,
Then altogether we will fall;
We hold the future in our hands,
It’s up to you! Now, make the call.

It’s not about the here and now,
It’s what our kid’s future will hold;
Stop thinking about just yourselves,
Don’t let your heart become stone cold.

Patriots buy American,
Anything else is just treason;
I hope this makes you mad as hell,
For there’s no logical reason…..

For selling out your family and friends,
Or for selling America short;
And if you don’t believe what I say,
Look back at what history’s taught.

America is under attack,
But, this time we must face it alone;
 Only this simple question remains,
“Will you let our defeat be home grown?”

We are doomed if we fail to take back the manufacturing of a huge variety of goods. We have put ourselves at great risk by having other nations produce critical needs. We don't manufacture turbines, or generators, or any other complex infrastructure components. We do make guns and bullets, but the barrels are pointed at our collective temple. Patrick

The whole planet is in chaos, Paul. Your words remind me of something a friend sent to me yesterday:

The question:
How does life deal with a part of itself that fails to discover, or subsequently loses, its sense of purpose?

The answer:
It finds some way to remove it from the equation.

The example:
Behold the dinosaurs and the duckbilled platypus.

The conclusion:
Earthians beware: your days, as a species and as individuals, are severely numbered.
