[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]
I have several stories that indeed prove that to be true.
A few, however, are opposite. But that has been one of my sayings for years.
I could cite recent examples from a previous job. Multiple occurrences. There might as well have been a kid playing a banjo on a porch somewhere around there.
One thing is for sure...the USA is not remotely the country that it was before the 1960s....when a nation declines it does not do so in a straight line. We certainly had a semi-revival in the 1980s with the election of president Reagan, but since then we find ourselves back on the road to perdition.
