DO SOMETHING!

It’s hard in America right now. Feels like there is some big bad news item once a week & then these are peppered with smaller items all the time. It’s difficult for me to have a reaction at all to news that should rock me to the core. I guess the logical thing would be to acknowledge a sharp decline & just prepare for that. But, I spent most of my youth doing that & I’ve come to see this country in a different way. I believe in a certain kind of America that isn’t what most see the country as. It’s an America where immigrants or those with immigrant mentality can achieve their dreams in a way that less fluid society’s can’t. The thing is, the system is totally crumbling & corrupt, but this is more of a function of the kind of people that don’t see America the correct way. I see no politicians addressing this properly, I see almost never ending examples of this corrosion & imbalance. I’m tired of it, tired of the national dialogue, tired of everything being used as a political football, tired of the division. I wish I had some kind of answer, but I don’t, I think this moment needs a different kind of engagement that hasn’t happened before.
