My friend that was then, this is now and our countries are not the same and neither are our people. Perhaps if we had not overindulged in multiculturalism we could find the common thread which would still unite us. I truly think that it is too late for that.
I appreciate your post, thank you.
The same thing happened on a smaller scale to Canada.
Rather than emulate America’s melting pot, Canadians opted for the salad bowl, with different ethnicities retaining their native cultures in enclaves.
It worked. Now Canadians complain their spirit of nationalism is seriously curtailed and society is fragmented.
We’re next. Unless we can have a big old war that lasts long enough to forge patriotism anew....
