Things change. "You can't go home again"
I am not a religious person, but many things impressed me in the New Testament. One of them was this quote from Matt. 5:13
You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Face up to the fact that this country is not going to be the same again. Let's try to make it better than it is now.
One thing that will enter into the lives of us pampered, mis-informed and protected from reality US Citizens is something most people in the USA have not had in their lives for the last 50 years. Real world E-X-C-I-T-E-M-E-N-T.
Lets hope our transition from our dream world of the last 50 years to facing up to reality has good consequences, after the painful choices and encounters are made. - tom

Unfortunately, my sons and grandkids will have to live through that time. I don’t wish that on anyone.
