Yet, sadly…EVERYONE seems unable or perhaps unwilling to place their original origins as second to the country in which they actually live in… They appear to shy away from stepping-up to being an AMERICAN first and foremost. …
Only when held together by some common “glue” (amongst ALL ethnic groups) can we prevail… TOGETHER …as ONE PEOPLE (NOT under one God, by the way… but rather under many…-Religion and State DO NOT mix!!) …Only with this common idea and active philosophy can we change … Change the government’s corrupt and money hungry “starving” greed and reckless waste, change this insane obsession with the Hollywood Aristocrats, change our attitudes about ourselves …our own self-worth as an individual perfectly capable of achieving their full potential and deserving of happiness.
America has the potential to once again be a leader amongst nations… perhaps less as a police-force, but more as an example to others ..that Democracy, Capitalism, Equality, and Justice can be successfully intertwined to once again create the country Washington (truly remarkable man, by the way –read his biography) and other great leaders of our past originally intended and fought for.
However, people appear lost… have no connection to one another, have no sense of where they belong… And once again I agree with you #778.. They appear confused as to their identity… Hence this clamor to hold on to something…anything that resembles “happiness”… which apparently is personified through money… celebs’ lifestyles, a personal heritage with which one has no real connection to, or in worst scenario’s case…gangs and crime. There’s so much more to life… Our heroes should be the teacher in North Carolina who gets up every morning at 5am (without pay) to teach a special class open to all students who wish to participate (if they, too, are willing to get up at the crack of dawn) and attend his ingeniously constructed methods of teaching Shakespeare and mathematics to those otherwise not offered such special attention… or the doctor who alone (abandoned by all of her colleagues) remained by the side of the patients’ who could not be rescued and brought to safety …during the New Orleans’ flooding catastrophe. And yet we remain impressed and influenced by the marriage of a playboy to an eccentric.
…How can we change? …America?? Help.
