The problem is that we, as a nation, don’t want to win, we don’t want to do our best, and do a perfect job. It isn’t our focus, or our reason for being anymore.
Now it’s all good enough, and often, not good enough, but who will ever know?
The tide will turn soon, since these things cycle, and we have an economic collaspe coming which should again produce people who are conditioned to try to win, since they have had to in order to survive.
When the tide turns, we’ll have an opportunity to see a lot of this over-reaching stupidity turned back. I hope we take advantage of it.
I have been dwelling on this a great deal lately, the concept of our toughness as a people.
I pray to God it doesn’t take a national or global calamity to restore our toughness.
