I'd like to see some serious discussion here. Let's not think through a partisan lens. Let's pretend there are no such thing as Democrats or Republicans. Let's pretend there is no such thing as Liberal or Conservative (or libertarian) or anything else you might think up.
As human beings, how do we fix the problems our nation faces?
First, I think we need to determine what the main problems are. Tell me what you think our biggest problems are. And are they symptoms of something else or the source of other problems?
Second, should we solve them through government or by acting as individuals?
Third, Tell us some of the ideas that we can impliment in our own lives to fix the problems our nations faces.
<sigh>
I don’t think it is possible to fix our nation’s problems until we actually start thinking of ourselves as being a nation in-and-of-itself again.
The basic idea behind modern America has always been that of a Melting Pot (from many, one) however; today, America is much more like a Salad instead.
Once the politicians realized that power and wealth could be had by pitting all the different groups against each other, the concept of “One America” simply ceased to be. So, today, we are little more than a conglomerate of greedy special interest groups; each out to advance only themselves.
I am not sure how to fix this but, I guess if I had to make a suggestion, I would offer that a good first step would be to start insuring we all speak (and understand) the same language.
