IT’S TIME TO RETHINK WHO WE THINK WE ARE…
(…and what we need to do to continue being…America)

Looking around at the dismal condition of our political scene today, the less than coherent performance of our economic machinery, and the wasteland of our current cultural and social values…any extraterrestrial visitors to our patch of what is called Earth might be forgiven if, after landing here, they wondered whatever happened to that place in their guide books called…America…because what they were seeing suggested their GPS system had brought them to the wrong place.

We may not yet be a Third World society, but at the rate we seem to be going, we may yet become one. We’ve somehow strayed way off of the well designed and illuminated pathway the founders of our republic created for us by becoming more than just enamored, but addicted to the latest technologically marvelous gadgets…all at the cost of setting aside our well-tried and true common sense and ability for effective critical analysis of any situation… before making any kind of rational decision about it. Instead we seem to have become a nation of sheep-minded, dumb-downed, and gullible bumpkins, ready to swallow whatever cure-all “medicines” any slick snake oil peddler offers us…even if it borders on the nearly impossible “miraculous”.

It’s time to seriously take stock and rethink who we think we are…and what we need to do to continue being…America.
