When this slop seeps up to Boeing, Douglas, & General Dynamic Electric Boat, medicine -- & it's on its way as sure as God made little green apples -- we won't be safe no matter what the military does or doesn't do.
We are in the process of destroying ourselves quite efficiently; &, I'd dare say we're doing so much quicker than those who had the *power* & could've stopped this slide, those who should've known better, ever thought possible.
The decay's now taken on a life of its own like *rust*...it's literally become an outa control Frankenstein monster.
Well, what the hell.
We sure should at least be "feeling good about ourselves" as we go down the tubes, too; &, if not?
Then I'd have to say we've all been royally ripped-off by the forces who're directly to blame for the social quagmire.
Of course, to the poor SOB who's silly enough to point out the kimchee we're in, make a game attempt to explain *why*??
Well that person's certain to be instantaneously labeled a very "harsh person" & ignored, accordingly.
More often than not the *hit* will come from the very same people who're responsible for getting our society/culture into this stinking mess, too: The Liberal-Socialist factions on the Left.
Saddest of all, though?
If the Liberal-Socialists don't attack *first* in defending the societal fecal matter?
Then, the shameless smear will come by way of the insideously ambitious, unscrupulous dogs on the Right.
Why would both sides defend the indefensible?
For the only reason which makes any sense, of course.
No one gives a damn about honesty, truth, & what's best for this country anymore whatwith everything being thoroghly polluted by, "special interest(s)" of one kind or another?
(~thanks in large part to our two-term, illustrious, self gratifing Sink Emporer's pursuit of a *legacy* -- the demonic SOB...)
There's really very little left "united" about the United States of America in the wake of the greedy tsunami that animal left in Its wake save for plenty of slick marketing red, white & blue patriotism, slick albeit hollow images (ie, "An Army of ONE" >!< ), & plenty of jingoistic goobledegook.
~Form without substance.
Naturally, as fate would have it?
Having the ability to be honest with ourselves, be able to recognize *a* truth when [it's] in front of our faces is -- so help me God --the only way we can ever change the horrible cultural tailspin we're in & turn things around for the better.
That'd transformation would most certainly take a tremendous amount of WORK; &, are we really that much more ambitious these days?
Any bets on that kind of "change" happening in any of our lifetimes?
...such is our dilemma, neighbors.
