I have really enjoyed this discussion. Apparently we have a somewhat similar working history and have observed this old world turning for about the same number of years. I may be naive, but I still have faith in the good sense of the American people. It will be difficult but we will find our way. Take care and continue the good fight.
If the American people still had good sense, there is no way a failed President like Obama could have ever been reelected. The laws of political gravity no longer apply. We have reached a tipping point.
We are no longer the same people. Our rapidly changing demographics have resulted in a nation that no longer believes in the vision of our Founders. Demography is destiny.
Be of good cheer.
