America has lost its spirit.
Unless we Americans change markedly and dramatically, we will fester as a nation. That's the way I see our future. We are in a decline. We have lost the faith. We don't pull together any more. We are at odds with each other. And we are in crisis. I see it every day. It's so obvious. We could pull ourselves out. But we don't want to pay the price. An all-out national effort. A united front. But too many of us want to cling to the old ways. The bickering ways. Maybe the last time we were united was during World War II. We were in decline in the 1930s. But then we rallied. We moreorless pulled ourselves up by the bootstraps. In order to survive. It was that. Or perish. And we're in a similar situation today. We need to rally everything we've got. We all have to go to work. And I mean that literally and figuratively. We all have to contribute. But I don't see it happening. Because America has lost its spirit. --Jim Broede

We all seem to want to leave itup to the next guy. --Jim
And our politicians pull for each other's failures rather than successes. What a pity. --Jim
And if any of us die in the process, we dance on the graves. Sick. Sick. Sick. --Jim
We actually have politicians that pray for a rival's death. Yes, it's come to that. Sick. Sick. Sick. --Jim
