As long as those in positions of authority care not one wit, about those whom they "serve," let alone those that represent them, corruption and incompetence will flourish. The lack of desire to "throw the rascals out," is endemic to the malaise that afflicts the American psyche. Until Americans take responsibility for their actions/inactions, the downward spiral towards society's/civilization's end will continue to accelerate, to self immolation. The tipping point has already passed the place of no return. All that remains, is to see if there can be a softer landing, rather than augering into a smoking crater, from which survivors will be few...
Individuals, families, and even communities can affect, direct, and help shape some small segment of Universe, or destiny. After all, the future is not yet cast in stone- that's history's place. Work together to make your lives better. Leave hate and discontent to those who have no future. Decide who you will be amongst- the living or the dead.
Have a nice weekend,
